Fannie, Freddie, Ambac Run After House Bill Passage (FNM, FRE, ABK)

The US House of Representatives has passed the in a vote of passed 223 ‘for’ to 202 ‘against’ the passage.  What is interesting is that we are seeing a sharp run today in some of the key players, but the ‘volume spikes’ are actually more ‘price spikes’ because the volume is low:

Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) is up almost 12% at $1.03 on 35 million shares.

Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) is up 10.7% at $1.24 on 22.1 million shares.

Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABK) is up 8.8% at $0.86 on 8 million shares.

The bill will create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency which aims to protect consumers with more regulated credit cards and mortgages.  More regulation for systematic risk and derivatives is on the way as well per the passage.  The members also voted against an amendment by 241-188 that would have given bankruptcy judges new powers to lower balances on mortgages that would have prevented delinquent homeowners from losing their houses.

Sunesis Pharma Continues 10-Bagger Quest (SNSS)

Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: SNSS) is at it again.  The company more than doubled yesterday to $1.39 on over 35 million based upon Tuesday’s leukemia Phase II drug news presented this week.  Traders and investors are speculating that this could be the next small-cap low priced stock that could be a ten-bagger in biotech.  Shares are up 7% at $1.49 on 840,000 shares as of 8:26 AM EST.  The year high was put in yesterday at $1.84 and even after the price doubled its market cap at yesterday’s close was a mere $47.8 million.

Gartner Inc. (NYSE: IT) is not your usual pre-market mover.  At 8:29 AM EST we have shares trading down 6.7% at $17.10 after a $18.34 close Wednesday.  The company has a secondary offering coming of 8 million shares being sold by Silver Lake.  None of the proceeds from the sale by Silver Lake will go to Gartner.  We have yet to see a pricing in SEC filings but that will price either this morning or tonight.  The 52-week range is $8.33 to $20.27 and the average daily volume is only 330,000 shares.
