Financial Stocks Meltdown: A Picture Worth 1,000 Words
Stock-Markets / Banking Stocks Jul 09, 2008 - 02:41 AM GMTWho a few years ago would have thought FNM and FRE would lose 70+% and 80+% of their market value?

FRE and FNM plunged again today when the possibility of them having to raise $75 billion was floated — not that much left to give up.
