I put in an overview of the accounting scandal. Those who have more knowledge of finance/accounting please put in more details about the derivative valuation issue. Shawn Pickrell 16:54 UTC 21 Dec 2004

The speech Remarks by Chairman Alan Greenspan Risk Transfer and Financial Stability To the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's Forty-first Annual Conference on Bank Structure, Chicago, Illinois (via satellite) May 5, 2005 provides some fascinating background on derivatives and the GSEs. --J. W. McLeod 22:52, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

What's a GSE, as described in the article? This probably needs to be clarified.

A GSE IS A 'government sponsored entity'...

the mention of the 50,000 donation in the Awards section seems out of place.. perhaps in a criticism or controversy section?

I agree...that has nothing to do with awards. Seems like a non-objective stab at FM.


It seems to me that Fannie mae is the savings and loan industry rolled up in to a single entity. We all know what happened to the savings and loan industry. I remained highly concerned, that more problems are being concealed at Fannie and that the company is in much worse condition than anyone realizes. Thoughts?
