Fannie Mae (FNM)

Government owned company with a white house willing to let the money printer run all night long baby. This company is not going down and instead will be placed in the center of the housing recovery. Bet on it, bank on it.

FNM follows FRE and AIG..

Another one that connot go bankrupt, so can just go up in the future

people will always need shelter over their heads, fnm and fre will provide it as long as the goverment back the company up with people tax dollars.

As soon as the toxic assets can be cleared, the economy should rise again. But however for this stock as well as FRE, this will be a traders stock not an investors stock. It has been flat as of lately, but when good news comes out again expect it to hover around 2.50

FNM already has outperformed the S&P. Thompson Reuters has a 100% Starmine Accuracy Score, rates FNM as a BUY.

Thompson Reuters analyst opinion on Fidelity.com makes the most sense. Shorts will take a long term hit on FNM.

My contrarian pick.

Uncle Sam will not allow this company to fall or fail. As long as the federal government has money this company will plug along and do what it's been doing for years. One day you will wake up and this stock will be back to where it was when this all started over $84.00 a share. I saw this for sale at 30 cents a share and purchased a large amount and now I've made a lot of money on a penny stock for the fist time in my life. I expect to really clean up on this one. Already I've done very well and expet to see an increase like never before in my life with this investment. I suggest that you go for the oats on this one and see your investment grow like never before.

I think this one could make it out of it's hole.

I actually bought this at .63 sold at $2.00.

Yes I know this is pure speculation, but I allow for
%10 of my portfolio to be invested in speculative stocks.

This ratio will change if the market ever starts making sense. In the meanwhile I'll take my profits.

I originally bought this stock in March 09 for $0.7175/share. This company will not fold and when the housing market rebounds, I'll be laughing straight to the bank!

There are two things that can happen to FNM. One, they go broke and are put out of business. Or, two, they stay in existence and refine their business model, get back on track, get acquired, etc.
The Gov't. is not going to allow them to go broke and out of business. So the odds of the price of the stock going up are much higher than the odds of it going down. In addition, the toxic assets that have been absorbed by the Govt/taxpayers and they have a virtually endless supply of capital.

Wow I Finally bought my 1st shares of Fannie Mae (FNM) shares today!
I have been following this stock for a long long time and I decided TODAY was the best time to buy!
I was really lucky I bought my shares for $1.80....just like I did FRE last week
I was worried I had missed out since it has been steadily climbing day after day.
My Dad has all of his retirement in FNM stocks and he was getting a little worried, but this morning I told him "Don't worry Pa, it's gonna be OK. FNM is getting of conservatorship and you will start to get your dividend checks very soon."
And it can't be soon enough! Ma needs a new hip. She broke it about 10 years ago after test driving a Pontiac Aztec..... It was just too low to the ground for her...
So anyway... to make a long story short... I cashed out the rest of the remaining equity line on my house last week and bought shares.
Never mind that I am underwater on my first mortgage (damn interest only loan):
but I figure with what I make off these stocks, I will be just fine.

My broker wasn't too thrilled and he actually tried to discourage me...
I am guessing he just didn't want them to get in on a good thing!
I mean come on....he works behind a desk at a bank... and not a very good bank either (formerly WAMU) so what does he know! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! He told me the same BS last week about FRE!!!
So the way I am figuring.... by the time this stock soars I will have made enough money to buy me a 2010 or 2011 Hummer H4! It's higher off the ground, so Ma can get in it easier (on account of her bad hip). I am just happy gas prices are back down below $4 a gallon FOR GOOD now too...Thank you Mr. President for putting a STOP to speculators in the stock market!
I am just SO proud that I was able to get in on this deal of a lifetime........gosh.... I just don't know what to do next.....Maybe buy a time-share in Detroit…..or double down on GM stock?

This company is not going away, and it can't really get any lower. That means up.

why not

The housing market has to return to it's former glory.

Boy did I call this wrong; but, wish to point out that political cronies sat on the board of this company, yes, appointed by Clinton and Bush...drove this company to the ground, in addition to other bad management and the implosion of Wall Street.

There is just too much upside potential. In a market economy like this, the risk is worth the reward. They may never be another buying opportunity like this in our lifetime. I bought shares in RL just under $2, and I am confident that I will be just fine short term and long term.

If no one can short this stock, then it should go up.

Any other stocks are just too risky to own and hold!
