They will privatize themselves if this ridiculous legislation passes. All they have to do is give up their government charter. The slight reduction in cost of capital that it gives them now is not worth the BS that Congress is about to pile on them.

The problem if they are privatized is that nobody will be regulating them at all. But I guess that risk factor will be incorporated into their stock prices.

Their market share is steadily declining. The large banks are now issuing securities and are actually behind the effort in Congress to restrict Fannie and Freddie from owning securities.

How about the SEC, they regulate all public companies.

As a mortgage loan officer, I have fewer and fewer loans that I do that end up being Fannie or Freddie loans.
