Yeah, and the earth was going to explode at 12:00AM on the millennium change too. A lot of hype about very little in the long term. It will be good for the UK if they get away from the EU....just a bunch of power-mad socialists.

Taking a little medicine NOW instead of A LOT later.
Sounds good to me.

Sky News is all but saying it’s over. Brexit has a 700k vote lead. Lots of gloom and doom from Remain folks pretending that it’s not over yet.

The opposite of what they should do. I guarantee it.

Pound down to 1985 level.
My the result fully counted it could be 1885.

I like the BBC talking heads. They grill the Labour party idiots quite well, leaving them babbling into nothingness.
There are no real issues with the world economy and a BRexit. This is just hype over hype.

First order of business for the Fed tomorrow? Suspend mark to market accounting.

I’m freaking out. I should have gone to bed 2 hours ago. But I am watching a couple of live Brexit links.

What Brexit will do:
1. Stop people from 27 EU countries to have free access to move to UK and take jobs away from UK citizens.
2. Stop welfare benefits to people from 27 EU countries to move to UK and stay as long as they wish without needing visa. That will soon include all those Muslims Germany and others have imported with promises of amnesty towards citizenship.

Tells you something about those who insisted “leave would never be allowed to happen”.
To: disndat
If you stayed pat in the market this week based on projections of a Remain victory, tomorrow will be ugly for you and many others. The EU is now a hollow entity if the results hold.
