Some have raised questions about whether the government can deem the @FannieMae @FreddieMac (together: 'F2') Senior Preferred Stock ('SPS') repaid in full in connection with the release from conservatorship and re-IPO of the two companies.

@pulte Director @pulte, we share your approach to an owners mentality.
When the time is right, we would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with you as we have some thoughts on how to maximize F2’s shareholder value while minimizing the cost of mortgages for home buyers.

It is almost always the case that the higher the stock price, the greater the risk to shareholders.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (F2) are rare examples of the phenomenon that the more their stock prices rise, the lower the risk of investing in F2, and the greater their intrinsic

@jefffeldman Fannie and Freddie already have enough capital such that they can withstand another GFC without government support. Post conservatorship, they will continue to have a government backstop in the form of the preferred stock purchase agreements for an additional $445 billion of

On February 4th, I wrote a post on @X in which I said that:
“I would not be surprised to find that [United Healthcare’s] profitability is massively overstated due to its denial of medically necessary procedures and patient care,” and I encouraged the @SECGov to investigate the company.

Now that the facts are in, it is entirely clear that the rot is deep at UNH.
As I have previously explained, we have never had a position long, short or otherwise in UNH.
