read some scarey stuff on FannyMae recently
I was truly shocked to learn that FM does not have protection against rising mortgage rates
they were described as a larger version of LongTermCapMgmt
with highly leveraged mortgage-backed securities
and no hedging against higher rates, period
a derivative blowup waiting on the highrate horizon

unbelievable
if they fall, and JPMorgan falls, then we have a monstrous situation on our hands wrt mortgage business and real estate generally
the conclusion of the editorial was that FM failure could result in 1% higher mortgage rates
just from lost liquidity within the lending business

I still expect at least one bankruptcy among
JPMorgan, Citibank, GoldSachs
I am starting to deeply hope and wish for GS bankruptcy
some justice to Rubin's gang and AbbyJo's whorehouse

a separate article pointed out that the founders and owners as recently as 1990 are all sold out of JPM, Citi, GS
the holders of the bag now are shareholders
the big three now represent Federal Reserve toolmen
each is a shell of its original corporation, in purpose, in mission, in ethics

unfortunately, I expect these failures to receive federal bailouts
coming before 2004
