GregY, if the government got us into all this mess, why would you vote for a party who represents a bigger government?(GregY)
I am tired of the government manipulating the markets, first browbeating the industry into ridiculous lending practices, and now not letting it to find a clear value. And that is done by "conservatively&a... minded government, what can we expect from the next one? They are turning the markets into another form of taxation. I am no longer putting any new money into this or vote Republicans. Reply

If mortgage debt is so toxic, and is currently trading at a fraction of its face value, then why not offer homeowners the option to buy their debt back at a fraction of the eventual cost to them? Then the banks get to sell their debt at market rates and homeowners who have the cash get the bargain of a lifetime. I would happily buy back my mortgage for 8% below the balance of the loan. With a 5.5% interest rate on my mortgage, and the tax deduction worthless to me because I take the standard deduction, that would amount to a 13.5% gain this year for me. Likewise, because the market value of my loan is probably 10% below the balance of the loan, the bank would improve its position by 2% and, more importantly, trade debt for badly needed cash.Of course, the homeowners who were unable to take this option would be the ones more likely to default, but that would be the case independently of what the better-capitalized homeowners did. At least if the better-capitalized homeowners could buy out their mortgages, the banks would have cash to operate and pay for the inevitable defaults from the other homeowners. Reply

This is good news for the markets, perhaps the critical piece. The common and preferreds will have some value and continue to trade.I am a buyer when the preferreds hit my target price.
Currently no position, but looking at Fannie preferred S and T, the two sold at $25 within the last 12 months. Reply

The government has warrants, not stocks. The treasury has said they have no plan to exercise the warrants. What is the real book value? Exactly... no one knows. Until that's figured out, everyone is just speculating what will happen to both the common and preferred stocks.Mortgage rates are tied to the 10 year T-bill. Current rate plus 2.5%. With the fed just maxing out the credit cards, the T-bill rate is going up not down. No good news for the markets here.
