this is extremelly bad sign..
This means Freddie mac is out of business and has huge debts.
It suggest that,Those innocent middle class & working class pple who take home loans from freddie mac and fannie mae are still not able to repay housing loans.

While those arrogant wall street traders are still out their making millions, bloody bas*ards.Once again goldman sachs and other bank's army of traders are looting innocent americans.Hola!

trading crude oil,s&p makes sense..but by trading ABS , making money with it is inhuman thing...where as the backing-asset,
innocent student's loan and middle class pple's housing loan are tied.

I would blame foolish clinton administration which started encouraging to give loans to pple with bad credit quality.

----AMERICAN CAPITALISM HAS LOST ITS ETHICS----
