Fannie, Freddie Drop as Barron's Says Bailout Chances Increase 

Aug. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fell in early New York trading after Barron's reported that government officials don't expect the mortgage-finance companies to be able to raise the equity capital they need, potentially forcing a recapitalization by the U.S. Treasury.

The Endgame Nears For Fannie and Freddie

It is growing increasingly likely that the Treasury will recapitalize Fannie and Freddie in the months ahead on the taxpayer's dime, availing itself of powers granted it under the new housing bill signed into law last month. Such a move almost certainly would wipe out existing holders of the agencies' common stock, with preferred shareholders and even holders of the two entities' $19 billion of subordinated debt also suffering losses.

Mvh, /Leif
