Does anyone own Fannie Mae Stock

By J AL7 - 03-21-2013, 08:19 AM - Boxden > The Money Spot (finance/careers)

Just wondering. It's on a good run over the past week. Last week it was at .20 now it's well over a $1

(ticker: FNMA)

I have thought about it but there is so much uncertainty when it comes down to it. There has been talks over the last few months about Fannie and Freddie combining so it may make things worth it or completely k!ll the value.

Whoever does should be looking at it thinking about WHEN THEY WILL SHORT... the student loan bubble is gonna bust... just a matter of time...

EDIT: Didn't read thought it said Sallie Mae, disregard

I bought 825 at $0.26 about 6 months ago, it dropped to $0.80 today :(

Had a high of 1.47, i was able to get in at .26 too. I think it's a long term hold. Too big to fail IMO.

SLABS?

Sounds like you are predicting a burst like the housing market. I'm green so forgive me for my ignorance, can you run it down for me?

^^ Ok, I heard about Mr. Paulson but I also heard of people buying insurance on the stocks too and made the same kind of come up.

Either way you got me interested, can you point me in the right direction so I can do my due diligence.

Thanks Propped.

I'm thinking this will be worst than the housing market crash... If you think about it, whenever people defaulted on their mortgages there atleast was an[..]et of value (property) to recover something from.. Where is the intrinsic value in a degree? That paper is worthless... Anyone can get a student loan, tons of people are chasing a dream which denotes a bubble... just sooner or later...

Its coming...

FNMA posted the largest net income in its history and is well on its way be managing itself over a $1.00. I got in at .29!

I think its a good buy to hold. Right now the housing market is recovering, interest rates are still relatively low but are starting to rise. Once interest rates increase, it should attract more investor in the secondary market for mortgage-backed securities. Also its low enough where you can put $200-$500 up and still get a decent amount of shares.
