Fannie Mae (QB) (FNMAM) News

--applicable law as set by Congress (silent word court)

---compliance with applicable law as set by Congress. (Congress says if any portion of HERA found illegal by the court then whole agreement is null & void. The jury already said NWS was unfairly treated investors. Judge Lamberth by delaying certification of jury trial by 1.5 yrs is giving time to Gov & Congress to prepare for unwinding NWS).

Question 71: Should the Trump Administration bar any individuals or entities who would
financially profit from the end of Fannie and Freddie’s conservatorships from discussions and decision-making about potential release?
Answer: If confirmed, I look forward to hearing from a wide and diverse range of interested parties in seeking the best path for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in compliance with applicable law as set by Congress.

Next you’re going to mention how Bessent blinked slowly and licked his lip…
Is your battery working properly in your hearing aid.
It was a question period, all his answers had to appear bi-partisan.
Unless this info of yours comes from an anonymous source, lol
Fnma

He is there to release, first smart businessman in that position, it’s been written. He is gonna make everyone before him look foolish. Without saying a word.

Disregard, these were the questions from pre hearing the Senators wanted.

I watched the confirmation hearing and I didn’t see one thing about Fannie and Freddie. Where did you get this from? Not saying it didn’t happen, I might have missed it. Which Senator asked it?

I did listen confirmation hearing.
But the feeling is that he isn't strong enough to push privatization.

Hope I am wrong and we all become very very rich soon!

Then every Democrat and maybe more should step down. The vast majority come out much wealthier then they went in. Such a statement could only be made by the hypocrisy on the left. Almost everytime they criticize the right or conservatives u can find abuse behind the accusation. Now when they make any accusations i know they do it themselves.

John Paulson was in the ceremony.

We also know he would vote yes to NYSE along with Scott Bessing.

Ending the conservatorshits is now top priority.

I like this answer best:

Thanks Fully Diluted - I read the Q&A earlier yesterday and was surprised no one had commented on this answer as it really jumped out at me.

You have to take into consideration that he did not write this - Transition Team staff did. So its not just some off the cuff remark by him, but the official policy of the administration. You also have to take into consideration place and time. This is DC and we just came off the election - there are a lot of favors to pay back - both financial and otherwise. And we saw Monday at noon, in real time, who the biggest beneficiaries are going to be. John Paulson wasn't there because he was some lost tourist who got off the South Capitol St Metro exit and wandered into the Capitol looking for a public restroom. (Maybe that's why Biden was there?)

I would surmise that much of the recent rise in the GSE stock price has got to be related to the Pelosi effect. DC, after election, pay back time. Makes sense?
Thanks again Fully Diluted for noting this as its really, really telling.

Nats

Then you didn't listen to anything he said at any point.

Trending up mainly with occasional 30% drop and up again higher. That's what I observe in the last 2-3 cycles. Anyway, I expect to see Fannie running through $10 very soon. 

Hi, Fully,
Me too, hope my first impression is wrong and we get what we want quickly.

Hope you are right Rick,
 Maybe I become impatient and no longer trust politicians after following this for too long.

Good DD. Keep it up.

What a bunch of horse crap.  Bessent has to be careful what he says.  Do no harm.  He needs to get confirmed.  All his answers to the 30 Warren questions were spot on.  Keep the answers general and not talk about release or the senior preferred shares in any detail.

Are you scared?

Hi Angelmin,

I hope your first impression misleads you. I don't think Bessent will have to fight for an end to conservatorships. I also believe that he will do whatever Trump asks him to do. That's what he said three times during the confirmation hearing.

Hi Ace Trader,

You and Rick were obviously ahead of me. No question that conservatorships will end under Bessent.

YES I posted this morning. Pretty much laying the ground work fo the future release of the GSE’s

What is the stock price prediction for FNMA?
A break-up at the top trend line at $7.22 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 97.37% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $6.43 and $14.24 at the end of this 3-month period.

Trump clearly sees who Bessent is for USD, currency reserves, and debts, but not for GSE. That's why he nominated Bill Pulte, not a conventional guy, young fighter to lead the privatization of FNMA FMCC.

I think Elon Musk is right about Bessents's nomination for Treasury Secretary. He said Bessent is not a changemaker or a fighter, but follows the businesses as usual.

My first impression about Bessent's privatization of F&F is not great. I feel he is a snake like Mnuchin. He just wants a prestige job, not a fighter for GSE. 

Calabria is free to speak, the political pressure is off.

He didn’t get the job and mortgaged his house to buy Freddie shares!!

Done:

Calamari flip flops more than a pair of flip flops.  He talks from both sides of his mouth.  His left and right jaw muscles get an even workout.

Bessent's answers are now available. The Senate Committee on Finance asked Bessent these questions in advance of the confirmation hearing.

Questions 68-84 relate directly to the ending of Fannie and Freddie conservatorships.

My response to Joe Light:

How many shares does Bessent have? I hope ackman takes care of him and gives him a Million or two shares and gets this show on the road.

I dont care as long as they release Fannie and they dont use our Fannies money for there star ship thingy.

What is up with Catman, went on an X posting spree saying it’s actually not complicated to release FnF. Where the hell was this Catman 7 years ago?

Be patient at least until the tsy and fhfa heads settle down in their job. Give it a quarter or two max, before we shd start thinking abt frustration 

My question is What the Hell are you doing trump wasting your God Dam time renaming the gulf of who cares or renaming the mountain of I dont give a Crap! Jesus Christ Man do something that maters like Free Freddie and Fannie so that my grandpa can get a decent retirement.

It's a yr old , but this why we are all here.

Scott Bessent, nominated by President Donald Trump for the position of Treasury secretary, has expressed a commitment to ending the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. He emphasizes the need for a careful and thorough process for recapitalization and release, highlighting that the conservatorships, which have lasted over 15 years, should not be indefinite. Bessent has stated that any steps towards ending the conservatorships should be designed and executed with precision to protect mortgage credit availability and improve housing affordability across the country. He acknowledges the necessity of working with Congress for any structural changes to the GSEs, such as providing an explicit government guarantee or regulating returns to investors. Additionally, Bessent mentioned that the Treasury should be compensated for its past support of the GSEs, although he would need to consult legal counsel on the specifics. His statements come in response to queries from Senators Elizabeth Warren and Raphael Warnock, indicating a collaborative approach with lawmakers and regulatory bodies like the Federal Housing Finance Agency to ensure the process aligns with legal frameworks. $fnma $fmcc americanbanker.com/news/bessent-w…

She sits in her garden and grows roses with Jaenette and Sarah. Drinking tea and frantically trying to talk about the good old days.
They just don't have any topics. Joe come later, he overslept.

Just Let the Appointments Settle In.

Then on multiple fronts resolutions will start for WMI/WMB, Lehman’s, and F&F.

IMO;
Retained Earnings (75/25%) is the first for WMI Escrow holders.
Low hanging fruit.

Yes I hold F&F commons.

A look at Bill Pulte, Trump’s choice to run the FHFA

Pulte is an activist investor, philanthropist and Trump supporter

Jeff Bond - January 21, 2025

https://www.scotsmanguide.com/news/a-look-at-bill-pulte-trumps-choice-to-run-the-fhfa/


Government-Sponsored Enterprises, Mortgage, Regulation and Compliance

Bill Pulte, the man President Donald Trump has nominated to serve as director of the Federal Finance Housing Agency (FHFA), is known as a businessman and a philanthropist. If confirmed by the Senate, Pulte would lead the independent agency that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, government-sponsored agencies that are crucial to the running of the real estate market.

Pulte is an unconventional choice for running the FHFA. While he is a Trump supporter, he has no government experience. His history of philanthropy and private equity activist investing is not the typical career path for agency administrators. Some experts have even surmised that Trump tapped Pulte because he would accelerate the privatization plans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Pulte is the founder and CEO of the private equity firm Pulte Capital Partners. He is also chair of The Pulte Family Office, which also invests in companies, and the former director of PulteGroup, Inc., the public real estate development company that was started by his grandfather, William J. Pulte, who died in 2018.

Pulte has been greatly influenced by his grandfather’s interest in philanthropy. He wrote in a guest column for the Florida Times-Union in 2021 that his grandfather, who grew up poor in Detroit during the Depression, felt a duty after becoming successful to help those less fortunate. His passion was helping “the poorest of the poor,” Pulte wrote of the real estate magnate.

That passion to give back was passed on to the elder Pulte’s children and to his grandchildren. Grandson Pulte, himself, supports a number of philanthropies and launched the Detroit Blight Authority, which works to stabilize neighborhoods in the city. He has also become a well-known “Twitter philanthropist.”

He wrote in the Times-Union column that one day it dawned on him that Twitter, now known as X, was “the perfect platform to use to reach people in need across the world.” He maintains he’s used X to give away more than $1 million as well as three cars. He writes that the amounts he’s given to individuals have varied from $50 to $25,000. “I help everyone and anyone from cancer patients to single moms, U.S. citizens and people internationally,” Pulte wrote.

Pulte has spoken publicly about how President Trump has helped him raise tens of thousands of dollars in donations on X for military veterans over the years.

Beyond his philanthropic interests, Pulte has also made a name for himself as an activist investor. In December, Pulte, as chair of The Pulte Family Office, an activist shareholder in Virtu Financial, a financial data management company, called on the business to sell itself to either a private equity firm or to another public company. If the company doesn’t explore a sale, Pulte is threatening to force a proxy vote or take other actions.

Pulte lamented the current CEO, “is not focused on building a materially bigger business and spends precious time tweeting on items not related to the core operations of the company.”

On Jan. 15, Pulte announced that The Pulte Family Office had bought shares in GrabAGun, an online firearms retailer that also sells other outdoor products. The company is about to go public through a business combination with Colombier Acquisition Corp. II.

“Much like the First Amendment, the Second Amendment must be protected, and we believe there is no better way to exercise this belief than by investing in GrabAGun,” Pulte said.

As far as I'm concerned this is the new floor....😂

WhaleBalls ?

Trump doesn't have "quirks". That's left-wing media propaganda. What he has is a high level of intelligence and a brass set of balls!

Navy, you are a fighter and work day and night for our success in correcting the Democrat heist. I will be grateful to you and others here for the rest of my life after the release.

Let the lazy expropriators talk, now things are moving forward again. Trump has his quirks, but he's changing things for the better.

$100 - let's go

👍

Your average is under $1 well done !!

yup the hacks made careers out of pointing fingers, never having made a profit at anything, and lies. HUGE difference where it counts and there is accountability. its time to make all of that part of life again, fantasy world is gone
