Fanny & Freddie

[Aldo Matteucci <aldo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,
on 10/3 the Chairman of the St. Louis Fed made a speech in which he
essentially said the following:
30% of US financial assets are in mortgages
The two parastatals have about 50% of the market
They are SERIOUSLY undercapitalised
also it is not clear whether the Tresury will bail them out
which means that we are (again) in a situation of moral hazard
and we could face the repeat of the S&L debacle.
This may be the consequence...
In any case, whatch those two. If they go, we go. Your swimsuit is under
your seat.
