If the bailout does not happen in any form or fashion (although it probably will), what would hypothetically happen to these two companies?

I’m thinking about buying stock in both of them. I know it’s risky, but there is a lot of potential.

I like to invest some stocks long term, so I’m thinking that any company that is backed up by the government is safer than others. All I know is that you will lose your stocks if the company goes bankruptcy. What happens to your stocks when the company does not go bankrupted, but is taken over by the government? Thanks.
Is there any other reason that you would lose your stock shares in a company besides bankruptcy?

I’m trying to buy my mothers house. She was foreclosed on and the bank now has ownership of the house. She has taken up residence in my grandparents old house so she has no interest in the house I’m buying.

Fannie Mae has decided to deny my loan because they say I am bailing out my mother from her foreclosure. Is there anything I can provide or tell them that is not the case, that the house is for me and not my mother?

I am a bit concerned of giving so much money and if anything goes wrong, I could loose.

Fannie Mae gave out hundreds of millions in Bonuses last year, for exactly what managing to obtain 10 straight quarters of loses?

Where is his outrage? Will the Democratic Socialist threaten special taxes to recover the bonuses?

Franklin Raines, with two other defendants, settled with the Justice Department on April 18, 2008, agreeing to pay fines of million.

In addition, Raines agreed to pay back an additional .8 million he received from a recent stock sale. Did he see the crisis coming and sell out his shares early?

If FNM is privatized what does that mean for stocks? Will fannie ever be able to profit again?

In your experience, what would be a reasonable offer based on the following statistics.
List Price: 4900
Comps: 7900
Costs for repairs will be approximately: 00
According to website, Fannie Mae acquired property for 8000

We were thinking 4,000.

I am trying to decide whether to buy more, sell tomorrow, or sit on it for awhile.

is the change We can believe in?

We’re making an offer on a Fannie Mae owned house, but it was REALLY cheap and in a great neighborhood and in good condition. No one was interested in it. Is this just a really lucky find that fell through the cracks, or are they not telling us something…?
Oh and we got an inspection and have been in contact with the police department as to the neighborhood. Everything checks out.

What could possibly be their reasons for this? Is it because the Presidency and Congress would go Republican if the public knew the Democrats were behind this mess?

Fannie Mae has some 70K homes they have foreclosed on and own outright, but only public entity’s can purchase POOLS of these homes.. Doesn’t make since, objective shouldn’t be different because of a corporate status. I represent a large P/E group with over B to deploy in distressed real estate acquisitions and can’t get in front of Fannie Mae to help them unload this toxic inventory, crazy!

The government owns 1/4th of the mortgages in the country. It began as a way to help "the poor" get homes and somehow ballooned into the government controlling 1/4th of the mortgages.

Since the government owns your home, do you think they’ll raid it? Do they have the right to enter their property?

Since the company is backed by the government, do you think now is a good time to buy its stock even though the company hasn’t shown any signs of recovery yet? Given that the economy’s recovering, is right now a good time to buy FNM since recovery could take place soon?

What are the odds that someone is as politically unlucky (or inept) as that?

Recently I have been looking into refinancing my home mortgage. The DU Refi Plus looks enticing to me. What are some of the advantages of using the du refi plus program over other methods like fha refinancing?

I am not anticipating any gains in the near future, but what are some other thoughts?

Nick I agree with you this why were in such a mess now because of the sub-prime lending.

To me it’s crazy.

What if the credit wasn’t due to credit cards or unpaid loans?

Please tell me what should I do with my fannie mae stock, it came down a lot, should I just sell it and take a lost, or just keep and wait to see? I worry it may go down to o.

Is anyone out there gambling on them like I am? I think this stock will skyrocket soon. What do you think?

Likelihood that stockholders will come out ahead in the long run?

I am just wondering if foreclosures bring any additional costs. I am not financing the property.
