Yeah, my electronic subliminal decoder is in the shop but I am pretty sure I heard him say,“In order to save some transactions just make the check payable to The Illuminati DBA Free Masons of The NWO.”
The question is, were you paying attention?
LOL you are hands down one of my favorite posters on the forum. I didnt watch the president but i can imagine how it went.
so quick poll, who here wants the bill to pass and who doesnt want it to pass.
regardless of if you want SOMETHING done.
+1 for Passing the bill
So FNM is at 2.25 in pre-market trading and FRE 2.32…god theres nothing like being up 5 g’s at 9am every day.
Must be nice <- :jealous:
Which one? The one Bush proposed which was basically a 700 billion dollar check given to Paulson to do with as he sees fit, or the one that looks close to passing, with oversight, CEO salary limits and taxpayer protections?
Yes to the latter, no to the former.
2000 apple pies for every citizen 
i support that 100%
i hate you.
conspiracy…
thats a bunch of apples
this makes me smile soo wide… jealous, envious but also hoping you make a ton more money.
how much are you up overall?
im up a few hundo
i did not go in big time
On FRE and FNM, up about 15k on a ~6k investment. If I had bought it all when I first got in, like I wanted to but didn’t have the balls, it’d have only cost me about 3750 to start.
better watch them - eventually people will dump
yeah, if the shorting ban doesnt get extended I’m dumping on the last day of the month. Possibly buying back in after the shorts hammer it down a bit
i really dont think that fre and fnm will be taking a significant long term hit. if the bailout bill is accepted, we will see steady long term growth.
my 1000 share $700 investment looks great right now. 
We need to have an NYSpeed “I bought FNM and FRE” party in Vegas with coke and hookers.

I know a lot of you hate Glenn Beck, but his article on CNN today is pretty good. He basically is referencing this one that he wrote way back in February:
Annnd the one from today:
While it took the people in power far too long to recognize it, they are now understanding the same sad truth. This bailout plan is not a good idea – it’s an absolutely terrible idea. It’s just the only idea we have left.
Our financial system is like a 747 flying around with all four of our engines on fire. The bailout effort will not stop us from landing hard, but without it, we may simply drop out of the sky.
What Congress is attempting is a last-second search for an open field to land this plane with as little damage as possible. With that in mind, I think some kind of action may be a necessary evil, but we must be very, very careful.
Best analogy I’ve seen so far for my feelings on the bailout.
