Delinquent Mortgages Equal to Three Times the Balanced For-Sale Inventory

Your lead chart is pretty intersting. I would note that your Y axis is titled "millions" but then the actual number is also in millions. My point is, that chart shows that there are 12,000,000 million (12 million million) delinquent mortgages (obviously not the case). It's a small point, but attention to detail when dealing with data is a good thing - otherwise people will question your diligence.

Someone Forgot to Tell Fannie, Freddie About Lowering Debt Ratios

Someone also forgot to tell owners of FNM/FRE common that the holders of those companies respective preferred stock (primarily banks/thrifts and insurance co's) have already written off their investments.

Not sure why common holders expect to get anything when the preferred holders have already recognized a loss...
