Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have rallied this week as President-elect Donald Trump works with advisors seen as sympathetic to shareholders. Shares of Fannie are up about 41% and Freddie shares up 46% sinces Tuesday. They were placed under federal conservatorship during the 2008 financial crisis, and in 2012 the Obama administration amended the terms of the agreement to sweep quarterly profits from the companies, a move that’s been challenged by shareholders.
