<<Lehman sells $2.9 bln subprime mortgage ABS

NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Lehman Bros. Holding Inc. (NYSE:LEH - news) on Thursday sold about $2.9 billion
floating-rate, asset-backed securities (ABS), supported by subprime mortgages, syndicate sources said. ...

The $2.2 billion senior A1 class, which carries a financial guarantee from Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE - news), was sold at 14.5 basis points over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor), the sources said.>>

What is Freddie doing guaranteeing subprimes? Talk about distorting the market/risk pricing mechanism...

Have you ever looked at Fannie balance sheets?
