A government takeover of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) could be announced as early as today, with shareholders facing the grim prospect of having their equity completely erased along with other major executive changes at the companies in a move to stabilize the mortgage market. Shares of smokeless tobacco company UST surged 25% on Friday on word that Altria (MO) will buy its smaller rival for $10 billion with a deal expected as early as tomorrow morning. Japan-based Nomura Holdings may consider a strategic ...

Thinking of investing in finacial stocks. Consider Bil Gross's comments first. Bond manager Bill Gross wants to spread the bailout wealth. Gross says in a commentary posted on the Pimco Web site Thursday that the government must “open up the balance sheet of the U.S. Treasury” to support Fannie Mae ( FNM ), Freddie Mac ( FRE ) and, in a new twist, “Mom and Pop on Main Street U.S.A.” as well. Gross has previously said he believes the Treasury will have to assist Fannie and Freddie in any efforts to raise new capital. His Pimco Total Return bond fund has major p ...

Bloomberg's “Fannie, Freddie Preferreds Batter Sovereign, Midwest” takes a closer look at the impact of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) preferred stock on regional banks. Banks had liked the GSE preferreds because they can count as regulatory capital and give the banks a tax break. Now the banks face large write downs or possibly total losses on the preferreds, and they might have to raise more capital as a result. Worst case scenario is some banks face such a capital shortfall they might be forced out of business.
Let’s look at the impact of nationalization with the current common eq ...

Fannie and Freddie Shareholders Run for the Exit

Barron's is portraying a "curtain call" in store for shares of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), which fell over 20% each Monday on concerns of insolvency. Barron's suggested that the government would be likely to bail out the two government sponsored entities [GSEs], wiping out its equity holders, preferred, common and even subordinated debt holders. Both of these stocks are near multi-decade lows and have dropped over 90% since 2007. There is a concern over Fannie Mae's ability to withstand further losses in their sub-prime, Alt-A, and interest only loans.

Get out of this stock. You will be burned by the bailout. The stock won't go straight to zero, but it's going to get there soon enough. Don't be a hero and try to play the inevitable dead cat bounce(s).

Government officials are likely seeking to avoid a full-fledged takeover of the companies, said Bert Ely, an Alexandria, Va.-based banking industry consultant and a longtime critic of Fannie and Freddie. More likely, he said are less-sweeping moves to calm rattled debt investors. Those include having the Federal Reserve or Treasury Department lend to the companies. A government purchase of shares, he said, is "the step of last resort." Brian Faith, a Fannie Mae spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement that the company "continues to exceed our regulatory capital requirements ... ...

Lost in this month long Kool Aid rally off the July 15 lows is the danger that is Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM). Just a month ago we had one of those emergency Sunday evening announcements that now comes every quarter as we reward risk taking institutions with our tax dollars [Jul 13: And Here We Go]. When things go well, they keep the gains and CEOs laugh to the bank. When things go bad, we cannot let any major institution fail - hi Bear Stearns (BSC). This is one time when the inability to short is really going to cost us - while one could argue Bear was a surprise in how qui...

We have been saying to steer clear of the Fannie/Freddie duo for quite some time now. It’s good to see that Barrons seconds our thoughts as they put out a pretty hard-hitting piece in their weekly issue over the weekend. A bounce in those stocks was inevitable, but it appears that it was short-lived and it’s finished.
This little blurb from Barrons says it all and underscores our bearish views on the companies: The balance sheets of both companies have been destroyed. On a fair-value basis, in which the value of assets and liabilities is marked to immediate-liquidation value, Freddie would ...

Wall Street declines on Freddie Mac loss Wednesday, August 06, 2008 3:35:43 PM By TIM PARADIS Stocks retreated Wednesday, a day after a big rally, as troubled mortgage financier Freddie Mac reported a larger-than-expected second-quarter loss and touched off fresh concerns about the financial sector. Freddie Mac, which substantially increased its reserves for souring loans, lost about three times what Wall Street expected on a per-share basis. The company also announced that it expects to cut its third-quarter dividend as it seeks to preserve capi ...

A lesson I learned from the Bear Stearns (BSC) fallout was that if you get into a stock when it hits rock-bottom, your investment can only go up. While I was a little late with the Bear Stearns opportunity (when it briefly traded at $2 and change); I see a potential opportunity for me (and like minded investors) to make good on the now notorious: Freddie and Fannie. Federal National Mortgage Association, a.k.a. Fannie Mae (FNM), and the Federal Home Mortgage Corporation a.k.a. Freddie Mac (FRE), have operated as a duopoly since 1968 as government sponsored enterprises [GSEs]. In common spea ...

After the stunning developments that occurred today I thought it would be a good idea to update my previous views on Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE). I'm not going to get into any moral hazard discussions because A) I don't believe in judging others, and B) it is irrelevant to evaluating this investment. A few key points: 1) The businesses didn't change last week. The stock prices did which is irrelevant to the actual business fundamentals. These companies do have some embedded losses in their portfolios due to the housing slump, but I have no doubt that the actual losses will be subs ...

Over the last week, Freddie Mac (FRE) and Fannie Mae (FNM) have seen their share prices decimated. The primary concerns are higher funding costs and misinformation about the companies' business and balance sheets. In listening to all of the rumors and discussions on television in regards to the GSEs' prospects, it is clear that most commentators and observers discussing these institutions have very little understanding of the actual businesses.
