      Fannie and Freddie: Finally a Light at the End of the Tunnel?
      looks like politicians are a little upset about the option calls or puts thing aiming for bans on options calls or puts on federal property.

      Kicking People Out - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/24/08)
      small regional banks are going to feel the pinch a bit more after the plan, so thats why WaMu wants to sell quick before filing for bankruptcy. The buyers though would prefer to buy it after bankruptcy to pick up the good body parts and left the rest of the roten meat.

      Well the real thing for the insurers is that now they can terminate contracts with fraud, so expect many terminations in the quarters to come.

      The Fannie and Freddie Apocalypse Trade
      hmm...weird to me, with the 200 billion coming in and 80% common stock takeover looks fishy to me it went up to more than a dollar doesnt make sense unless I am missing something.

      Well I was interested like what book of business changes explain this, liabilities, etc. so far they are buying more mortgages to free up lending but not so sure how this explain an upside, unless of course this is all about hedge fund going wild.

      Ambac Collapse: Anticlimax of the Week
      oldlures1 I think you have a pretty good point, certainly a conflict of interest is in play and I hope the FBI gets called in for investigation against market manipulation.

      AIG: Closing My Long Position
      The thing that conerns me is that AIG good assets are considered for sale while the bad assets will remain in their books, the current CEO seems to have been hired to liquidate the good part of the company and leave they JUNK for repair over time, that really stinks.

      Ambac, MBIA: Moody's strikes again
      pcyhunag you could be right, the problem that derivatives are just plain contracts for almost anything, even for JUNK, and they are traded on unknown, occult markets and no one knows its true value at the moment, I guess a point would be to put any contract or derivative on a transparent market just like a common stock and see who is willing to buy and sell according to simple supply and demand standard but this is going to take some time before it gets implemented.

      Buddahtt has a point, looks like there is some manipulation on this issue, it seems at first glance that they would try to hammer AMBAC and MBIA to buy them on the cheap, somthing doesnt fit very well here, there is a lot of conflict of interest. And yes the CDS marekt should be regulated and transparent, they need to show what they got!!!

      GICs business is probably the backbone part of AMBAC and MBIA book of business, unfortunatelly this is getting destroy but irresponsable Moody's downgrade, and the regulator no where to be found, this is absurd!

      Bank on Goldman - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/22/09)
      uncertainties are driving them down, the more they hold them at unknown price the more punish they will get from the market, so they better come clean and show the junk they hold even at zero prices.

      AMBAC has been working hard on remediating their books from toxic liabilities such of those CDO's containing NINJA loans, unfortunately came the Lehman fiasco which cause this liquidity calls. It would have been nice is they continue their hard work in delevering despite the erratic Moody's rating model. Their strategy eventually will pay off but it will take some time before they get to see the results of this titanic work.
