$FNMA $FMCC
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman has intensified his push to end the federal conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, calling it "the greatest real estate transaction of all time". Speaking on Pershing Square's third-quarter earnings call and in subsequent appearances on CNBC, Ackman outlined a conservative estimate that privatizing the two mortgage giants would unlock $500 billion in value, with roughly 80% of that windfall directly benefiting U.S. taxpayers. [1, 2]
The Core Arguments & Political Timing
•The Midterm Turning Point: Ackman noted that the Trump administration previously held off on releasing the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) due to political sensitivities surrounding the midterm elections. Now that the midterms are over, he expects the administration to focus heavily on a resolution. [1, 2, 3]
•Action via Executive Order: Ackman claims that a full release from government control is a "political imperative" for Republicans and can be accomplished quickly via executive order. He emphasized that leaving them under federal control poses a long-term risk because a future administration could alter loan standards
The $FNMA $FMCC pump-and-dump caused by @pulte, @SecScottBessent, and @howardlutnick is about to become the opening exhibit in the indictments Democrats will now pursue.
No Trump pardon will be honored.
The Dems are back in power and they want blood for every case that targeted their own.
Broken promises collect interest at 10x.
Lawyer up. @BillAckman

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be way stronger in Trump's hands, Bill Pulte says https://t.co/nGkeSQJ8kS
Admin publicly pumps $FNMA & $FMCC with fake IPO claims → stocks inflate → crash when the “IPO” never happens.
What does Elizabeth Warren and the left do with this when Trump is out of office???
A few thousand votes in a single district could decide many House races. 🗳️
Maybe even less. 👀
There are over 100,000 shareholders in $FNMA & $FMCC combined. 📈💰
What happens if @realDonaldTrump and @pulte fail to release Fannie & Freddie from conservatorship before the midterms? ⏳
A total bloodbath. 🩸 Democrat sweep across multiple states. 🌊
And after that?
Indictments. Impeachments. Jail time. ⚖️
Don’t say you weren’t warned. 🗳️📉🔥
$FNMA $FMCC @pulte
You said it… 44 seconds in:
“It’s almost criminal” 🔥
Well, what do you think the Left will do when they’re back in power?
Lawyer up and start begging for a pardon. ⚖️

Ok, I’m out.
No, I’m not selling my $FNMA $FMCC stock that I’ve held for almost 18 years.
I’m out on voting for Trump and the Republicans in November.
Diesel at all-time highs. Inflation still out of control. Never-ending wars. Taxed to death.
And the Trump administration is embracing socialism by keeping Fannie & Freddie in indefinite government conservatorship.
Trump and his posse had the chance to right the wrongs of previous administrations. They didn’t.
I’m staying home this November.
Good luck Republicans.
Good luck to the administration.
And good luck with the forthcoming indictments.

And just like clockwork… another $FNMA hit piece drops the moment momentum starts building.
Timed. Transparent. Market manipulation 101.

Imagine if $FNMA and $FMCC were finally permitted to trade on the NYSE instead of being left to languish on the OTC, where the current administration has allowed them to rot for years.
These companies just delivered another quarter of incredible earnings—strong, consistent, and growing—yet they’re stuck in the shadows of an illiquid market that limits visibility, suppresses valuation, and keeps institutional capital on the sidelines.
What a complete waste. The underlying business performance keeps improving, but the market structure and political inaction continue to hold back what should be two of the most important public companies in the housing finance system.
The longer this continues, the more value is left on the table for shareholders and for the broader market.
Should $FNMA and $FMCC be allowed to trade on the NYSE?
