Div=$1 if # of shares triples as Net income tripled from 2006 to 2024
I think $1-$2 is in line with Ackman's $30-$35 stock price. As a utility stock, a $11B-$12B payout based on $17B earnings would not be unreasonable. With a full warrant exercise, 9B shares would receive about $1.25-$1.35 per share. Paying a 4%-5% dividend would reasonably put FNMA in the $25-$33.75 range. Also, the 79.99% warrant figure is an UP TO amount. If they chose to exercise the warrants they don't have to go whole hog. But the big question, of course, is whether or not they go beyond the warrants.

Well, if a good dividend stream results from the GSE’s,
I was going to answer somewhere along these lines. It would be reasonable for the GSEs to pay out about $20B per year as dividends. They may pay more or less, but the attractiveness of the stocks' dividends will be the star feature to buyers and drive a healthy demand for our shares as well as a healthy dividend for those of us who choose to keep them. So I would not assume this SWF stuff is a one and done hit and run for the Gov't. They can collect the dividends and/or sell as they see fit. And for us, it would have the opposite effect of the Gov't. dumping all or a large portion of their shares on the market at once to cash out. Shares would remain scarce and desirable and the dividends healthy.
I would rather see this SWF stuff go away - at least in terms of our shares - as the Government's incentive to take as much as possible goes up. But it is what it is, and does have a silver lining for those of us that have the intent of a long term hold. But I just don't see the Government being a hit and run shareholder if they slap it in the SWF.

The proposed U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund announced via an executive order by President Donald Trump on February 3, 2025.
The funding timeline for the U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund remains unclear because it is still in the planning phase. The executive order directed the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, and the Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, to develop a plan for its establishment within 90 days—by May 4, 2025 .This plan is to include how the fund will be financed, but as of now, no concrete funding mechanism or date has been finalized or publicly detailed.
Potential funding sources mentioned by Trump and administration officials include revenues from tariffs on U.S. imports and monetizing existing government assets. However, the U.S. currently faces a significant budget deficit (projected at $1.9 trillion for fiscal year 2025) and a national debt of approximately $36 trillion, which complicates the availability of surplus funds typically used to seed such funds. Unlike nations with commodity-based surpluses (e.g., Norway’s oil-funded Government Pension Fund Global), the U.S. does not have an obvious excess revenue stream to immediately allocate. Some speculation suggests selling public lands or redirecting existing funds (like the Social Security trust fund), but these ideas remain unconfirmed and would likely require congressional approval, adding further uncertainty to the timeline.
Treasury Secretary Bessent has indicated the fund could be set up within 12 months from February 2025—potentially by February 2026—but this refers to its establishment, not necessarily when it will be fully funded. Actual funding would depend on legislative action, the scale of the fund (Trump has suggested a target approaching or exceeding $2 trillion), and the chosen financing method, none of which have been finalized.
In short, while the plan is due by May 4, 2025, there’s no specific date for when the U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund will be funded. It hinges on the forthcoming proposal and subsequent political and economic decisions, likely extending beyond mid-2025 at the earliest.

Huh, is that your argument...Are you comparing Cat man to Pulte, lol.
Did Catman transfer, fire, demote, promote anyone, I don't remember having any news about that at all.
But, for the past 2 weeks, Pulte has kept me busy reading a lot. I saw more cat pictures than anything relevent from Catman.
Does that sound like a guy who's going to slow down to a subordinate...
imo
