@UrbanKaoboy) R@realKunalAShah says listening to Michael was one of his most profitable decisions: he rode Fannie/Freddie common from 60-70c to about $10-12 and then exited. He credits Michael's long-ago analysis, which now says the GSE junior prefs and common are worth very little if SPS forgiveness does not happen.

I listened to Michael. One of the more profitable decisions of my life. Rode Fannie/ Freddie commons from 60-70c to about 10-12 USD and promptly exited. Think Michael has analysed this brilliantly a long time ago

@michaeljburry:
@UrbanKaoboy says the fulcrum remains at the senior preferred (SPS) level, so even the junior preferred (JPS) are not out of the woods. In his quoted note he argues the administration has little appetite for mortgage-market risk and SPS forgiveness looks less likely, leaving $FNMA and $FMCC common and JPS worth very little.

@michaeljburry Fulcrum remains at SPS level so even JPS are not out of the woods.

Replying to R@realKunalAShah:
@UrbanKaoboy says the junior preferreds (JPS) are at risk too. In his quoted post he argues the administration has no appetite to take risks with the mortgage market and SPS forgiveness looks less likely, so the fulcrum likely stays at the SPS and everything below it, including the JPS and common of $FNMA and $FMCC ($FNMAS, $FMCKJ), is worth very little.

R@realKunalAShah JPS at risk too imho.
