Anyone that bought when it tanked, can cash in now with a tidy profit if they were so inclined, before the inevitable dip again and rise again. All aboard the rollercoaster.
This is probably what most people around the world think. Funny that half of the British people feel otherwise. And if you really think about it, it's not even funny. It's unbelievably sad. How can this be seen as a win or lose thing? I've been watching from a distance and it's really.... eye-opening, in a negative way. It seems to me as if some of your people live in a bubble.
If we were already out of the EU and we had a referendum to join it now, as the EU currently stands, would people vote to join?
If we got the same terms - rebate, keep the pound, no Schngen then yes - that would be a great deal.

You sure it's up think Prague said it was going to 5800
but this is more to do with waiting for the never hitting of the A50 button, messy fudge and loads of face saving from whoever is the PM in the next year

Speaking as a card-carrying doom-monger, I might suggest that the thing to do is wait to see what happens once (if ever) Article 50 is invoked - though, given my perspective, I actually think that is more likely than some others on here.
(In fairness, though, I can also see a situation where the other member states might consider use of Article 7, if the UK government does not come to a decision soon enough).
Until the official announcement is made, the damage to the UK economy is more likely to be in relation to longer term planning; with potential investment delayed or directed elsewhere. For example, Nissan will not close their Sunderland plant overnight, but they have a strategic relationship with Renault (and, thus, access to plants across Europe), which could see models produced in Dacia factories in Romania. I would not want to suggest that they will not care about their English workforce, but they will care more for their balance sheet and their shareholders.
FTSE 250 down 6.2% today. Lower than Friday and currently at it's 52 week low. Looks like it'll probably go below 15,000 today. Don't worry, everything will be fine we've got our independence.
Freedom of movement as an ideology is deeply flawed. In theory the entire population of the EU, just short of a billion people could turn up on our doorstep, or Germany, France and demand entry. It has been sanctioned by Brussels but is not a policy that stands up to any scrutiny. There must be some quotas. Without this there would be no out verdict. A Labour wanabee should negotiate this with Merkyl and fight an election on a remain ticket.

But a "billion people" won't all move to one country, ever. And they accuse Remain of scaremongering...
It's the one where the other member states can suspend a member state from, for example voting rights, if they are believed to be in breach of Article 2 (which is the one on human rights, etc., but which could include seeking to limit the freedoms of EU citizens). The wording that would be of concern is that of "the clear risk of a serious breach by a Member State of EU values", being a sufficient reason for invoking it.
I'm a bit of a pessimist where human nature is concerned, so I would imagine that, if the rest of the EU believed that the UK was messing them around in terms of beginning the Brexit negotiations, they would seek to interpret that as a risk of seriously breaching EU values.

Sell high & buy again when it tanks (if you know what you're doing, very dangerous if you don't).
Got a nice perk of sitting next to someone who was a city trader feeding me the lines!
