1. Open equity Euroarea funds w cross currency vulnerabilities
3. European banks w USD funding vulnerabilities

What's happening in UK the now is exactly what I and others have predicted years ago: bankrupted councils across the UK will be taken over by CEOS, firesales of libraries, museums, and public land up for grabs. The Brexit clean slate = private governance. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...

Euro area open equity funds have USD 2.5 trillions (!) holdings in US stocks.
Firesales of US (AI) equity - prices down, crossborder contagion to European equities, currency mismatches (investing in USD equity, redemption in Euros that would hit hard if USD falls)

b) who would Europe sell to? USD 12 trillion is a lot of assets to absorb.

I didn't help that major media outlets were deliberately framing it that way. Concentration camps, firesales of public land, and mass deportation were papered over as "housing policy."

Brace yourselves for the next corruption bonanza as your £37bn, "saved" by the cancellation of HS2, is distributed to Tory donors, mates, cronies and extended family via the mechanism of 'salting the earth' land firesales and giveaways. It'll all be gone before they are.

unironically testing the edge limit of the EMH by seeing which nation states can salvage by bringing out of retirement the old floor traders who still know how to do outcry in a pit lmfao. can you clear the market during the mother of all firesales or do you perish like a dog?

'firesales.' Since Tawny's a B&W pen-paper artist primarily, she has these occasionally when she needs to make room for newer pieces. So, the final resting place for the art is basically between you & the literal firepit. Tawny did a plant series... naturally, I had to rescue them.

Soooooo..... is Sony going to at least give us some digital firesales as the PS3 & Vita stores reach the ends of their lives? I mean, Microsoft at least gave us that much when they announced the end of the Xbox 360 Marketplace a few years back.
