That's a hoax, but they will be saved, maybe not the stocks
(they become government property). A lot of speculation
out there. In case of nationalization FNM and FRE stocks
go to zero. Government guarantee is assumed for their bonds,
so their bonds are doing fine. The problem is Uncle Sam may
get the downgrade in the process of saving them, and then
the dollar will fall sharply again. Too big to
bail out. So far the dollar is holding 71-72, even though
the mildly rising trend has been broken.

Thats a drop in the bucket; amounting to a less than 3 tenths of a percent. The GSEs require about 400B in unencumbered equity to be considered "well capitalised" in commercial banking standards. Then they would show Indymac (or any other bank) alike 14x leverage.
