<. If you are looking for a repeat of that bubble and think this situation is repeating itself today, I would say it's not likely. There is very little speculative buying, selling, lending and churning in the real estate market today, because people remember what happened the last time.>

Last time there were silly tax breaks for accelerated depreciation which has all been washed away. We will never see an opportunity like that again IMO. That said, the financial engineering going on at FNM dwarfs that of the past period. They've got almost 2 TRILLION in mortgages they're hoping don't give them any problems going into a recession.... how deep it is will be very important to FNM in my opinion.
