A question for all regarding FNM. Forget about the negative side for now, think about the potential "positive" side. I keep reading and hearing that this fnm problem is related to fnm and will have no impact on the overall mortgage market. So far, I have not been able to find anything that substantiates this theory. In fact, I don't see any way that it will not. If fnm is required to raise capital, it is most likely that they need to do a combination of issuing more stocks and shrinking. Someone has to step up to the plate to replace this player who had been responsible for 1/4 of the mortgage market. How is that going to work out?

No. But we can check the reserve every Thursday to see if they added any permanent. Last week they didn't add any permanent. If the reserve (this afternoon) increases, then they added this week.
