Piper Jaffray is out with defending comments on Fannie (NYSE:FNM) and Freddie (NYSE:FRE) this morning noting GSE shares have gotten pummeled this week with FNM shares -30% and FRE -45%...
...Notablecalls: We have NYT reporting the U.S. government is considering taking over mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if their funding problems worsen, in a plan that could leave shareholders nothing, citing people briefed on the matter.
