Quote from achilles28:
What this means to us traders?
It means Freddy May will never see 0$ per share.
It will either be absorbed into a yet-to-be-created Government or Private entity (a la Bear Sterns absorbed by Morgan) to prevent CDS Trigger or will be infused with enough Tax Payer money to make it a viable Institution.
That means 50 Cents a share is probably a good bet.
It will never be allowed to hit zero folks.
Its a buy.
This was a good trade.
Fannie went to around 40 cents than traded upwards of 2.50$
Freddy - down to 20 cents than up to 2.90$
In at 50 cents, thats 400% profit, right there.
My fundamental game has some promise, eh??
