Housing bout to get wild
rwbt•2h ago
How exactly?
jedberg•2h ago
Fannie and Freddie are supposed to be there to stabilizing home lending rates. If they are public and have a profit motive, then their mission changes to profitability over stability.
UncleOxidant•2h ago
Weren't they public before the '08 GFC?
jedberg•1h ago
Yes. But their mission was still stability. This time around my understanding is that their charter will change.
stonogo•1h ago
Yep. How'd that work out?

> But in fact, the way they work is that every time their net worth increases, the government’s senior preferred claim — that $348.4 billion — increases by the same amount. So if they earn $30 billion this year, the government’s claim will increase to $378.4 billion, and the shareholders will be no closer to getting paid than they are now.
