Skibrian - I will defer to your experience but now I am confused. I just watched 431 reps vote on C-SPAN 20 min ago...isn't that the full House?
Sorry- Didn't see your other thread earlier

I'm not privvy to CSPAN! I guess it moved fast! Your link only includes updates through:
04/26/2017
It's obviously the 27th, so what you saw on TV is probably what it is, I guess. Was it an ammendment to a bill, or did they vote on HR 1694 as a standalone bill? What were the Yes and No's? did you get the count?
V. interesting...keep an eye on your link, they might get it updated by tomorrow morning. Wonder when the Senate will take it up?

this is the important final vote, and it is unanimous. off to the senate! (I think this means the bill was passed, and not some procedural vote to have a final vote another day...I need my book I got in the Senate in 1999...it's about 50 pages and details how a bill gets passed and all the rules of both chambers. how a law gets made is more of a mess than your high school text book can relay! quorum calls, voice votes, roll call votes, rules procedures, etc. etc.)

I was going to say that NEO...but I went with HS textbook because I wondered if 100% of our audience is old enough to know that cartoon! I myself caught it on re-run many years after it originally aired. That ran Saturday mornings through most of the 80s, but I think it was a late 70s animation?

the main reason I'm not 100% certain it passed out of the house is I can't get over the fact that it had no No votes! that doesn't seem right! What gets passed without a No vote in today's Washington?!?!?!?!

I believe I heard Congressmen speaking and saying everyone agreed on supporting this bill (H.R. 1694), but it was H Res 280 they were fighting over. So, I can see how they got a 425-0 vote. They added a few amendments to it though. One, (#3, I think) basically allowed FHFA to decide what info would be keep private through privileges....or something like that.

hopefully somebody will summarize this for us. I'm guessing Investors Unite (who read this board) are already prepping their news release to answer what all passed and what were in any amendments that did or did not pass along with it.
I could see unanimous, what self respecting polictician (besides Barak Obama) could vote against the sunshine laws? I mean, this isn't a national security issue!

Well, Buckman..... If FHFA decides what is private and what isn't, doesnt that sound like non-freedom of information?

Yes it does, Joseph. I know one of the amendments allows FnF 6 months to staff up to handle all of the FOIA requests. So, if a law, it takes effect 6 months after it's signed. Another, (again #3...I think) let FHFA (or FnF maybe) decide if something should fall under the 9 different types of privilege. If they so deem that it does, then it doesn't see the light of day. At least, that's the way I understood what they were saying when discussing the different amendments. I was in the middle of something else and their process was a bit confusing also....so I could be off just a bit....wouldn't be the first time. ;-)

This bill is meaningless drivel, then. Just saw the Gotlieb guy is incessantly pumping common and pref. He has a position in Fairholme.
Prefs still holding up well while commons are not. Might be a good spot to trade a very small common position. MACD finally heading up. I would sell at +.10.
This stock works to trade like that. Common s/h on Ihub getting desperate and scared thinking pref are the way to go. Although I think pref are, I think there is a trade opportunity in common right now.
Not a recco.
This board is awesomw. We seem to have a lot of good posts and posters.
Nothing like Cindy Crawford Pepsi poster, though.
