No BS my friend. I sit here in front of the computer each day like you, but we see different things. If you follow the Freddie/Fannie saga then you know that they are down because of rumors and speculation caused by analysts. If you read those analyst reports, then you understand that they were constructed to inflict panic.
The reason why both of them fell so sharply was because of a rumor the government was meeting over the weekend to consider a conservatorship. However, Paulson came out and nixed that idea.
The funds are playing Fannie and Freddie right now. Its nothing more then play. How much you want to bet that one analyst was shorting the stock when he came out with that report? Fannie is worth 20 dollars right now, but panic is gripping the market about analyst reports.
One day you have to look at the larger picture and then you'll understand that this was all fear....

Wow! Wild ride. Got some in the 4s, dumped in the 8s. I follow the story closely and knew this was just fear&panic. I got some long term shares in Fannie, but Freddie is where the real daytrading $$$ lie. 100% up day for me!!!
