Freddy Mac shares closed at around .59 cents today. Many believe that these shares will go to zero (which doesn't mean free), but it does represent a fraction of a penny. The US Government has already said that they will not allow this company to fail. All of the issues that caused the problem in the first place have been fixed. If the shares sell at zero and they are not going out of business, that means that 5 years from now, noone will remember that there ever was a problem. A year ago these shares sold for $65.00 to $95.00 dollars per share. To buy these shares at a fraction of a penny would mean for example; "If you were to buy at 1/5 of a penny (that's one penny cut into 5 pieces) each penny (each and every penny) on it's way back up to $65.00 dollars would represent a 500% return compounded each penny up. Look for these shares to go to a fraction of a penny and be ready to buy them at that price or some fraction of a penny." Get your money on the ready.
