http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt latest data of major treasury holdings owned by foreigners - could be worse, mind your the oil exporters seem to have a fair chunk and some of them aren't too friendly with the US

Payrolls turn negative, initial claims at highest since 9/11, umemployment knocking round 5%, monolines shaking at the knees, companies slashing workforces, can't see any more sellers about to come to market, oh sure looks like an ideal time to pile into the housing market :D

Here's the european list of props, mostly London http://www.trade2win.com/traderpedia/Trading_Arcade_Index Refco used to have a prop office in Paris but it didn't work out, London has a huge French population and most french traders work here, think they can be non-dom or something so it...
