FANNIE & FREDDIE

THE TWO LARGEST MORTGAGE COMPANIES IN THE U.S. ARE IN BIG TIME TROUBLE.

LOOKS LIKE THEY STOLD A LITTLE TOO MUCH FROM THE SYSTEM AND NOW THE FEDS HAVE TO TAKE THEM OVER.

THANK GOODNESS. NOW WE CAN ALL SLEEP TIGHT TONIGHT.

THIS BUSINESS IS REALLY CONFUSING TO MOST PEOPLE BUT THIS CHANGE IS MORE OR LESS LIKE DUMPING JESSE JAMES AND HIRING THE CEO OF ENRON TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE PROBLEMS.

SEE ..... NO PROBLEM. NOW GO AHEAD ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND DON'T WORRY SO MUCH.

OH ... ABOUT THAT CA. BANK ... U KNOW ... THAT OTHER LITTLE THING THE FEDS ARE TAKING OVER??? .... THE BIGGEST LOSS IN AMERICAN HISTORY ???? ..... NOT TO WORRY ...... RIGHT ????

ONLY 90 OTHER BANKS TO GO.

GUESS I REALLY AM ONE OF THOSE "HALF FULL" PESSIMISTS.

MUST BE MY IMAGINATION.
