Freddie Mac's stock is low for a reason. So why not invest in a short term penny stock that you know can't lose more value. Freddie Mac is being held up by the Government and the Government wont let it fail. So your investment will be protected by the U.S. Government. Your investment will be safe and sound for the time being. So buy for a short term hold. Sell in two week's and you will see a 20% to 140% growth.

This one ought to provide a very respectable return over the next 5 years. After the mortgage mess is in the rear view mirror. I do not own this stock but it will be a long term outperform for sure.

Think it will bottom out this week after Fannie Mae reports. Two of the employees I know who work there believe a turn-around will show up about the end of year, especially once elections are decided.

I've shorted this for an 88.48 point gain (right up to gov. takeover). Now reversing trend after it's backed by government and old shareholders wiped. Beginning of new chapter.

Finally bought my 1st shares of Freddie Mac (FRE) shares today
WOW, I have been following this stock for a long long time and I decided NOW was the best time to buy.
I was lucky I bought my shares for $1.80
I was worried I would miss out since it has been steadily climbing since week.
My Mom has all of her retirement in FRE stocks and she was getting a little worried, but this morning I told her "Don't worry Ma, it's gonna be OK. FRE 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 today 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 this stock, 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 me 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!
So the way I am figuring.... by the time this stock soars, I will have made enough money to buy a 2010 or 2011 Hummer H3! 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).
I am just SO SO excited that I was able to get in on this deal in time........gosh.... I just don't know what to do next..... Maybe I will buy a time-share in Detroit!

This housing environment is going to take a long time to pan out but people are not recognizing that their profit margins for new loan are growing and growing for new loans.
I don't know when the bottom will be but for true investors and not speculators...this stock is a big buy.

As with FNM, it can't be allowed to fail, it has to be sold back into the private sector, and it has to go up in price in order for this to work. It's the government giving you money!
Recs
It seems the gov. is not going to this company go. They have to much invested into it now to do that. If the company needs money the gov. gives it to them. This might take a little longer though to pick up as it has started within the last week or so.
