IMHO FNM is different than most. It can "lose" money when people default, but at the same time the defaulted property remains a real asset, unlike the "assets" of the likes of Worldcom. And when the doodoo hits the fan, its bonds will drop in value, allowing FNM to buy them back at a discount, thus removing their only liability simply and cleanly. I wouldn't bet the farm on FNM collapsing.

A fierce debate is raging between economists over whether the authorities should try to let the air out of the market, risking a global property crash and possibly a world recession, or whether they should let the market continue to expand, which risks creating a bubble that would inevitably burst.
