hello c2, did nothing, watched dvd, but fell a sleep within 5 min of the program that was about someone's murder or other. did not short fre, or unload skf, as what would be the point? why sweating it when one can just sit back and relax? just in-intray note: these concerns are probably overblown as i can't imagine agency bond holders not to be bailed out. in fact, i believe this is as near to an absolute certainty as you can possibly get. shareholders will be wiped out, but letting the agencies go bankrupt goes against everything our central economic planners/meddlers believe to be tried tested and true. they would never let that happen. they would much rather have a slow motion depression than allowing such a sudden market clearing event. de facto the GSEs are already insolvent though, so their nationalization is practically a fait accompli at this point (even though they will try to disguise it as something else).
