Well, I figured you would enjoy the article... So why are they bothering to call him up? Is there talk circulating about Fanny and Freddy?

"But this is a confidence game, and with the dollar on shaky ground (and with it, Fannies ENORMOUS book of dollar-denominated derivatives/SWAPS)" Would you explain how these work and show how FNM as a party incurs a risk. Do the member banks claim to guarantee part of that risk? When you say FNM throws its weight around, I thought they bought everything any lending instution gives them. Are you saying that they are negotiating to give more opportunities to non-bank originators?? Thank you in advance for your answer.
