Have Fannie Mae's shares ever split?
Fannie Mae's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 15 January 1996. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Fannie Mae shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Fannie Mae shares which in turn could have impacted Fannie Mae's share price.

Fannie Mae share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Fannie Mae's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$1.02 up to US$8. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Fannie Mae's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
