I would appreciate it if any of you investment geniuses out there would
comment on the advisability of investing in Ginny Maes.  I have a relative
who has about $50,000 to invest.  This money is now in regular savings
accounts.  The relative is elderly, and this is her only liquid assets,
aside from her pension and Social Security.

Specifically, what are the pros and cons?  How long is the money tied up?
What is the minimum you have to invest?  Are there better solutions for
a person in her position (widowed and retired)?

In advance, thank you for the advice.
