I’ll keep to the sidelines on this thread from now on. Not saying to keep it to the sidelines but keep you assumptions that you have a clue about our financial situations to yourself. Why would you assume the worst? Ill tell you why because thats what you want to believe. I expected better of you is all so I called you out on it. I dont give stock advice I am simply here for some decent discussion during the day to be honest. You didnt belittle the advice you belittled us with your BS opinions or how we run our money. But whatever its nothing new that you cant have a single adult oriented thread on here without a million haters coming in. But you dont have to be a big meanie ☹ I said I still \<3 you. ---

Yea I dont care what some of these people say we really have had some good $$$ generating conversation although most of it taking place off the forum. My only regret now is that I only bought like 3k shares since I was timid(like everyone else last week). > [@eclipsed](#): > > \<3 freddie. +1 > [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > 1.26 and 1.36 - Freddie, fannie respectively… > > What a good day for both. I know right. Im trying my best to figure out where they are going to settle and if I should buy more. Im still holding WM after yesterday since I couldnt sell it ☹ I think it will have one more solid push in it after the bailout. Also I think RDN and other mortgage insurers should be looked at because well a bailout should take weight off their shoulders as much as financials but people arent on to them as much yet. ---

reading some of the comments on the google page… it looks like many have the idea to sell at 1.5. so snagging it at 1.4 and selling at 1.5 is still a 8% increase… i say go for it… it might hold out until 2… who knows… shit its up 50% today alone I could see the confidence in many beginning to grow and hold it. I also have not seen any really bad news to indicate a sell point ---

So its weak yea but its not going down and people are seeing that. I really find it hard to believe the stock will be under 5$ a year from now. ---

I agree, as long as everything works out well, and the machine gun (.50 cal armor vehicle mount, sharing the army lingo with you) doesn’t get taken away. buy into it, it would be a great long term (year) invest ---

fnm and fre are not going under anytime soon. that would happen if we have a total economic collapse, in which case your cash is basically monopoly money anyways. im not holding fre in the off chance that it will go up a little bit. i think it will recover slowly over time… and i will make money off of it. im not selling it at 1.50, im not selling it at 2.00. i am holding it for a while. ---

there was a big sell off at 1.5 for freddie already. in retrospect joining the crowd at the 1.5 sell off and rebuying at 1.3-1.25 would be a big jump ---
