as i understand it, and i'm just sayin, those corps hold ~50% of all u.s. mortgages, when the foreclosure rate drastically went up last year, fannie and freddie's portfolio values plummeted, since these corps are publically traded, their stock values plummeted as well.
simplistic explanation but i figured i'd get the discussion going, this is not my opinion, just how understand the situation.
