“House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) has described Fannie and Freddie as the product of a ‘government laboratory’ and one that exposes taxpayers to ‘unlimited risk.’ Hensarling and others in the House are working on legislation to end the companies for good. Now that the president is on board, with apparent bipartisan support, it seems that reality may not be far off. Investors appear to be speculating on news the feds may actually pay off debt to taxpayers and recapitalize. Since liquidation appears to have broad support in the government, Fannie and Freddie look like stock to steer clear of.”
