Why is this kept secret?
I’m not losing any sleep over this, but it is kinda curious.[/quote]
That is a good question. I don’t really know the answer. I suspect it’s because there aren’t any regulations that make it mandatory. Solely in order to quell the paranoia of conspiracy theorists, it might not be a bad idea to create those regulations. On the other hand, since the paranoid conspiracy theorists don’t believe audited financial statements as it is, they probably wouldn’t believe any published ownership listing either.[/quote]
I would think it would be a good idea to make the ownership public just from a public transparency standpoint. It is indirectly a branch of the government – almost FRE/FNM style.
