Shareholders of Fannie Mae Going to Court to Grab Profits

Bill Ackerman, the same investor who is suing Herbalife, is now suing Fannie Mae. He claims that the profits belong to the shareholders who owned the insolvent Fannie Mae in 2008. The government has been taking most of the profits and using them to pay the treasury a 10% dividend.

Notably Dallas and Denver have surpassed the peaks seen in 2007-2008.  There are many things about the recovery to be curious about. The most intriguing is the cash buyer. 40% of homes in 1Q 2014 were paid for with cash!
