Another website, which seems to have found some validity in Zero's fundamental valuation argument (with which we have no affiliation at all, mind you), has been recently spotted.
The first thing that came to my attention is that someone has a lot more free time to dedicate to unmasking the various layers of National Rural Utilities.
The financial analysis section of the exposing website has some very shocking sections, among which are the following:
- CFC is technically bankrupt
- CFC's response: derivatives
- Electric loan portfolio has not contributed to profits since May 31, 2003
- CFC misappropriation of funds belonging to rural telephone members of RFTC
- The government is involved in a bailout of CFC that exceeds the Chrysler bailout
The website has also compiled the financial documentation in a easy to read pdf, which I present below.

“The blogger repeats the same old allegations made a few years ago, which are every bit as flawed today as they were then,” said Mike O’Brien, CFC vice president of Corporate Communications. “We do not believe the blogger’s report reflects an understanding of our financial condition or our results of operations, cashflow, ability to service our debt obligations or the strength of our loan portfolio.”

I would appreciate it if someone could please place Maria Bartiromo in a bag with an angry racoon and throw the bag in the Hudson.
No rush. Thanks in advance.
Also, please tie Dennis Kneale to the bag before tossing.
Thanks again.
The debt market is pricing NRUCFC bonds and Internotes at a premium indicating that they are essentially in good health. Contrast this to several financial companies that have their debt priced at steep discounts to par. As 'they' say, the debt markets usually have it right, the equity markets, not so much.
Many companies debt held up when their stock was falling. Egan Jones has rated the debt as junk for 2 years now. NRUC's own aduits show the fair value of the notes rec. are overstated by over 1 B. CO-SERV and ICC are carried at values on NRUC financials at 650 M overstated. Recall that NRUC's lawyer in ICC's bankruptcy 2 years ago turned down an overall offer of 620 M financed by Silver Point. NRUC's lawyer on the record said he didn't care how much his client lost. It was their choice. On April 6, 2009 in Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburg NRUC credit bid for 250 M plus the internal debt of 200 M. The highest bid received was 200 M gross. This bid required NRUC to provide financing of the deal. CERBERUS it is said bid at a gross number of 165 M. ICC's loan is a complete writoff but NRUC put in a bid in hopes of not writing the entire loan off. Has anyone asked if there are formal or informal investigations of NRUC going on by any Federal departments. Doesn't this begin to sound like Freddie and Fannie.
