CIT/FreddieMac - All In The Family
Unless you really know the players behind the facade, how can you possibly understand what's really taking place? So here's a small Reuters article about CIT Group and Freddie Mac:
CIT Group arranges financing with Freddie MacThis gets much more interesting when you view the Major Holders of each of these companies. If you click on the links within each table, it brings up another whole group of entanglements. You will also notice that not one company has any insiders owning even 1% of their company. These are plantations controlled by absentee landlords.

Co announces that it has agreed to sell to Freddie Mac between $3.5 and $4.2 bln of "AAA-rated" securities backed by approximately $6 bln of residential mortgages. The ultimate amount of the "AAA-rated" mortgage-backed securities to be sold will be determined following completion of rating agency review. Separately, the co expects to obtain $2 bln through an interim facility provided by Morgan Stanley Bank, which will be repaid upon the settlement of the Freddie Mac transaction.My point is that most of these deals are a lot more incestuous than one would think. They're not exactly distinct enterprises. No wonder things are such a mess. One could be excused for thinking there's a whole lot of C Y A going on related to this subprime mess.
Note: Two rating agencies [Standard and Poors; Moody's]are the last two companies listed.
NOTE: Vanguard manages four funds that control 3.67%.
