Nothing really insightful here.  Getting in with a few bucks can't hurt and may even prove fruitful.  In any event I don't believe this administration will allow the economy to go to hell before the elections.

Bill Grosses comment will mark the beginning of the end for the GSE's (see my earlier post).  Knowing that an ability to access the credit markets is the life blood of companies like FRE and FNM, I have given Bill Gross's (regarded as the Warren Buffett of bonds) comments more thought.  I am now predicting that both FNM and FRE will be taken over within the next 6 mos by the US GVT.  This will very likely cause the equity of both companies to become worthless.

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 ha...
