His analysis is here: http://brontecapital.blogspot.com/2009/10/new-gse-as-zero-meme-laying-assumptions.html He adds 2 additional points that I did not include in my analysis: 1. KBW double counts credit losses in their model. This is worth $6 billion to each company over the 10 year model. 2. KBW gives GSEs no credit for the rebound in prices for their non-agency holdings. He also makes an interesting point that the low end of the housing market is clearing out inventory faster than expected.
