Life is loaded with uncertainty, generally patience is rewarded when investing in companies that are well run and can continue to effectively and efficiently satisfy an important need in the marketplace, here, providing Americans (unlike almost every country in the world!) with low cost, 30 year PREPAYABLE Fixed Rate Mortgages.
Try not to "bet the farm", but under the law, "conservators" aren't allowed to take all the profits from their wards, the twins market share is historically high, MC/WH seems content on release, and mortgage rates are at historical lows and the housing market is currently at all time highs.
So 1 or 2 bucks a share for a 20% "ownership" position in the gses seems compelling.
