Time to sort through the Fast Money in-box and answer more of your questions.
Mark from New York
Mark writes, “Does Soros’ purchase of 9.5 million shares of Lehman make you more bullish on this name?”
Maybe long term, but I don’t think he’s trying to buy the bottom, replies Pete Najarian. He’s a long term player who can afford to lose money.

Rob from California
Rob writes, “How would a Fannie / Freddie takeover (if it happens) help or hurt the big banks like Bank of America or Wells Fargo?
I think it would help via the housing market, replies Joe Terranova, because it would remove some uncertainty in the mortgage space. The Street hates uncertainty.
