<<And how is that different that any other company???? More likely the FED will be buying them! So it doesn't 'collapse', but where would the stock be at that point... $10?>> Yup, the bagholding stockholder will take the fall as the new paradigm dictates. Why FNM has stock to begin with is beyond me. In fact, why don't they just get rid of all stocks and have only bonds? Much more transparant IMO. <<You mean property is better than equipment?? I'll give you that, but in a depression you think they will be able to sell it???>> Since property depreciates less than equipment and appreciates as well, its a lot better.
