Very positive article. I really like how the common term of "paid back to the treasury" is being used by every major news source even though the dividends are not considered payments under the terms of C-ship.

I believe the perfect storm is setting up to put pressure on the gov't to release from C-ship.

I also believe this was all manufactured by the gov't to generate public pressure to WANT FnF to return to their former state. Remember that the country was begging for these companies to be done away with. I think they're making it look like the public's opinion is in control, all the while making the public want that.

I guarantee you that many, if not all, politicans have shares of FnF and have been slowly accumulating shares knowing full well that they will eventually return to their former glory. I'll take some of those crumbs.

If these stocks hit $30, I'll drop my retirement paperwork in a heartbeat.

The following is a press release from Standard & Poor's:

-- In Standard & Poor's view, the creditworthiness of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remain closely tied to the creditworthiness of the U.S. sovereign (AA+/Stable/A-1+).
-- Since initially placing the entities into conservatorship in 2008 and providing capital, both the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Housing Finance Agency have made equally strong statements of support with regard to senior and subordinated debt.
-- We believe that the uncertainty around the treatment of subordinated debt creditors has diminished given continued timely repayment of principal and interest on this class of debt since the crisis and the above mentioned statement of support.
-- Further, we do not believe current proposals from Congress for reducing the role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the housing market are likely to result in any reduction in support for either class of debt prior to their maturity.
-- Based on this, we are affirming our senior debt ratings at a level equal to the ratings on the U.S. government and raising the subordinated debt ratings to 'AA-' from 'A'.
