Winston,

I like your daily hot sheet and the links too! You've provided great information, short and sweet with in depth information for those who want to know more.

Winston - I like that you added the links to the stories.  I'm going to the Fannie/Freddie link as soon as I leave this comment.  Great job.

Okay, I just had to stop back - WHAT?  I couldn't believe the comments on the link for the FNMA/FHLMC refusing to do a principal reduction.  KEEP PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES!!!  That's NUTS.  Sorry, I just had to rant.
