    Fannie, Freddie: Plunge then rebound

    Worries about government takeover send shares sharply lower in early trading, but both recover most of early losses.

    August 21, 2008: 10:15 AM EDT

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Shares of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plunged and then rebounded in early trading on Thursday after new reports that the federal government may have to take over the troubled firms.

    Fannie fell as much as 87 cents, or 20% to $3.53, but then rebounded to a small gain a half-hour into the trading day. Freddie shares tumbled as much as 99 cents, or 30%, to a record low before rebounding. The lows of the day represented a 20-year low for Fannie (FNM, Fortune 500) when adjusted for splits, and a record low on that basis for Freddie (FRE, Fortune 500), which started trading in 1989.

    The Wall Street Journal Thursday said that the firms faced a need to refinance $225 billion in mostly short-term debt by the end on September. Concerns about the firms' ability to refinance the debt had prompted Treasury Department officials to begin developing a series of options to shore up the companies if necessary.

    The two shareholder-owned firms were set up by the federal government to provide financing to the mortgage market. Today they are the primary source of funding for banks and other home lenders, and they own or guarantee more than $5 trillion in mortgages. But both have reported large losses due to rising foreclosures and declining home prices on the loans they own or back.

    Earlier this summer, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson secured congressional authority to lend the firms an unlimited amount of money if necessary, as well as the ability to have the government buy shares in the two firms. It is widely expected that such a move would wipe out the holdings of current shareholders.

    Paulson and executives of the firms have continued to insist that they don't expect such moves to be necessary, as they have stated that both firms have capital in excess of levels required by regulators to cover their expected future losses. But the investors have not been convinced, sending shares down more than 60% in the first three trading days of this week alone. Shares have now lost nearly 90% year-to-date.

    Kiezen jullie tussen FNM en FRE? Zo ja waarom?
    FNM gekozen omdat de beurswaarde vele malen groter is. Liever het kleintje laten klappen dan de grote broer. Het was weer een mega8baan vandaag en had ze te scherp in de verkoop gelegd. Natuurlijk ligt om de hoek het Northern Rock scenario waarbij de aandeelhouders met lege handen achter bleven.

    Maar de vergelijking gaat mank qua businessmodel, hier staan geen spaarders in de rij om hun geld op te halen. Hier ligt de capitulatie van de huizenmarkt op de loer en dat laat men niet gebeuren.

    Als de VS de boel gaat nationaliseren zal de ineenstorting ook gebeuren vanwege de signaalfunctie.

    Het enige positieve signaal dat men kan geven is er geld in plempen of garanties afgeven. En dat gaat gebeuren (ben ik anderzijds bang voor de overige beleggingen, want dan gaat de dollar opnieuw..).

    Ze zitten in de tang en alleen een stijgende koers kan helpen. Vandaar de gok gisteren genomen op 4,31.

    Dat gaat zeker gebeuren....je kan er zelfs op wachten.
    Kan nooit meer lang duren.
    De euro en dollar krijgen het nog héél moeilijk.
