      Fannie to Buy Jumbo Loans at Conforming-Loan Pricing
      American Banker (05/07/08) P. 13 ; Terris, Harry; Berry, Kate

      Through the end of 2008, Fannie Mae will snap up jumbo conforming mortgages at regular conforming-loan prices. Recent legislation boosted the ceiling for mortgage purchases by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to $729,750 from $417,000, with only 71 markets seeing higher limits. While House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., said at a recent Mortgage Bankers Association conference that he would schedule hearings to determine why the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) have not purchased more jumbo loans since the higher limits were implemented, Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight deputy director and COO Ed DeMarco said purchases have been slow because the GSEs are not familiar with the jumbo market. Meanwhile, UBS AG's Laurie Goodman noted, "Agency-conformin... jumbo is going to be a small market because relatively few mortgages qualify."

      buyforeclosures: if V will be 175$, & its numbers come out the 28/29th and confirm that V is gonna rocket,
      then you'd be way off to not buy it now at 65 bucks

      Oil, Iraq and U.S. Foreign Policy: A Way Forward
      get real. no way is this admin or the next ever gonna buy the oil from the iraqis. never. iraq will 'stabilize' when congress stops allocating all our taxes to the invasion/weapons contractors etc, . then they will pump/steal the oil & ship it out as planned for the u.s or sell it to the highest bidder. they will push the price of oil as high as joe citizen can pay.

      The accountants are the ones who know the real numbers. But they seem to slide, as they did with Enron. Why aren't they being targeted?

      re: the authors comment on timber; - trees, 'they just keep on growing' , says a lot about the authors lack of reasoning. they may keep on growing, but, not fast enough to compensate for the amount being hacked down. i could go on, but, why bother

      Gold and Silver: Is the Correction Over?
      Jason,
      Thanks for the article. What about an etf like GLD or SLV, as opposed to miners (paas) or middlemen (slw). Which would fare best if silver breaks out? I am long GG & SLW & INIVX.
