Fannie/Freddie-Market Close
The Dow ended at 11502, apparently on the "good" news of improved durable goods orders. Volume was very low again today. There was a rumor that the Treasury was going to make an announcement concerning Fannie (FNM) and Freddie (FRE), but the Treasury finally denied it. The GSE’s still made gains of 15% and 19%, respectively. I remember when Enron traded this way….towards the end….
I’ll have the wrap-up later this evening, with an XLF chart. If there are any other requests, please email me from the link on the site. Here’s a look at the 5 minute S&P chart from today showing the uptrend.
