COMMENT
Followed this for years and is on his watch list. In the last 2-3 years, the chart shows a period where it was at $0.30 where it stayed for a long time. Thinks there was a tremendous overreaction by the government because of a lot of problems. Through their history, they have really helped a lot of people buy houses.

COMMENT
Very interesting contrarian play. Government seems to like to destroy things that have worked for a long time. At a certain point in time, they don’t work as well but the question is, what are they going to replace them with. You have to steel yourself to deal with companies like this.

WEAK BUY
Fannie Mae (FNM-N) and Freddie Mac (FRE-N) were mainstays of the US economy but are now penny stocks. Were touted as prime blue chips for years. If you want a high risk, this could be a place to do it. Feels the risk is far less than it was before because US government has not completely moved in. Tremendous upside over time.

DON'T BUY
In most people's mind, the US government supports the debt of Fannie Mae (FNM-N) and Freddie Mac (FRE-N) so their debt is secure. The question is, what are they going to do with the stocks, and very importantly the preferred stocks. They are down about 50% and there is a lot of concern that they could get wiped out.

(Top Sell) Starting to crumble. Freddie Mac started several months ago and Fannie Mae has just started. Don't think it's over.
