I don't think Pultes words are worth reading between the lines..
He just says what he comes at that moment to his mind
Bessent and DJT are having the meaningful talks

Great Observation DaJester - he also said it would be a traditional offering specifically mentioning a S-1- which we know the GSEs dont necessarily have to do since they are Exempt Issuer - government entities. A S-1 could be new shares or shareholder owned shares. I dont think they are going to exercise the warrants so the S-1 could be:

1. Newly issued UST Shares from a SPS Conversion - proceeds to the UST
2. Newly issued Shares from Fannie and Freddie - raising $ 30 bn new CET1 Capital
3. Newly issued Shares as part of a Rights Offering - where the UST would sell their Rights for $ 30 bn and existing Shareholders could sell rights or purchase new shares at the Rights Subscription price - UST could raise $ 30bn for the UST and Fannie and Freddie would raise new capital at the Rights Subscription Price. Since the price after the deal terms announcement could trend toward $500bn plus total valuation - there could be a significant value in the rights if the Subscription Price is based on current average prices of low single digits. Kind of an Intel like scenario with obvious Trump Bump.
