Common stock of federally controlled mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were off more than 30% each. At 10 am eastern time, Bipartisan leaders of the Senate Banking Committee said they would soon release a draft bill that would wind down Fannie and Freddie, and reform the U.S. housing-finance system. Their shares fell several hours after that news broke. |
