The Future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Danny Moses talks to Meredith Whitney, founder of Meredith Whitney Advisory Group, about the current state of the housing market and consumer finance. Meredith highlights the sluggishness in existing home sales, attributing it to seniors holding onto their homes and tapping into home equity loans. She discusses the consumer spending patterns of Gen Z and Millennials, focusing on the financial impact of student loans and rising healthcare premiums. The conversation also touches on private credit's growing role in consumer lending and the potential implications for companies like Rocket Mortgage and Upstart. Meredith provides insights into the regulatory landscape, the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the shifting dynamics of the credit card market. She concludes by discussing her successful investment picks and the potential for a coming economic cycle. --
