nice spec here. But do you still love it? The company is as bankrupt now as it was back then. Shudder to think how many years/decades it will take for this and its brother to pay off the public debt (to us, the taxpayer).
Unlike Bushed, Obama seems interested in getting rid of these ghost companies.

The tossup here is whether the Government as it is right now, politically unsure, and mismanaged, could even, if they tried, dismantle a GSE which holds such a massive percentage of the country's mortages. I do not believe that it can, and i think it will be a long time before the GSE's are gone for good.

I think much more information is needed on the future of these companies politically to make such a statement. however, regarding the amount of time it will take to rebound, i think that even waiting 5 years for them to repay their debt and return to the same growth that was projected 2 years ago, could yield some very satisfying returns.

what are your thoughts?
