In a Wall Street Journal article "Fannie Seeks $10.7 Billion From Treasury After Big Loss" written by Nick Timiraos, he says Fannie posted a $14.8 Billion loss and needs $10.7 Billion for the US Treasury. The loss is due to rising unemployment and more prime borrowers defaulting on their loans. See the story here http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124960826802413197.html
The treasury has already pledged to provide as much as $400 Billion to keep Fanie Mae and Freddie Mac going. We have yet to see how the Obama administration will ultimately determine how the two companies will be run and/or divided or privatized or nationalized. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the two largest buyers of mortgages on the secondary mortgage market.
