Government-controlled mortgage finance giant Fannie Mae is asking for $2.5 billion in additional federal aid after posting a narrower third-quarter loss. Fannie Mae also said Friday it is likely that the recent foreclosure chaos will have a negative impact on the delinquency rates of its loans, its expenses and foreclosure timelines. Fannie Mae said Friday it lost $3.46 billion, or 61 cents a share, in the July-September quarter. That takes into account $2.1 billion in dividend payments to the Treasury Department, and compares with a loss of $19.8 billion, or $3.47 a share, a year earlier. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/05/AR2010110507117.html
