Britain leaves the EU

Global markets buckled as Britain’s vote on European Union membership infected every asset class.

The pound plunged by a record and the euro slid by the most since it was introduced in 1999 as the BBC projected a victory for the "Leave" campaign with most votes counted in Britain’s referendum on membership of the European Union. South Africa’s rand led slides among the currencies of commodity-exporting nations as oil sank to about $47 a barrel and industrial metals slumped. The yen surged and gold soared with U.S. Treasuries as investors piled into haven assets. Futures on the FTSE 100 Index plunged with S&P 500 Index contracts as Asian stocks dropped by the most in 10 months.
Brexit Infects Global Markets as Unprecedented Moves Accumulate

EU Referendum Results - BBC News

 

Markets will react badly, but for how long.........

Gold & Sliver up........but for how long.......

 

But I don't want to sell gold or silver I want to buy more...

 

I already tried to buy pounds.
Unless you have a british bank account and you try to buy pounds you will be paying about $1.70 per pound with exchange fees, then when its up and you resell, unless you are in England or have a bank account you will likely take a loss.
If some one has a better way do tell. I would drop some USD for some quid.

 

And you thought Common Core Math was bad...

 

Another polling fail...just saying...

 

5:00-5:30...hmm....maybe @Brokor s love for her Majesty isn't ill placed.

This $#!+ is getting real.
Assassination, resignation whats next?

 

Every once in awhile, good sense prevails in the world. Are the Brits finally wising up to the fact that the EU is just one big continent-wide socialist state?
Are they finally realizing that socialism will collapse and they'd rather have the EU do so without them?

 

see @Brokor 's posts above, Britian hasn't really been in the EU since the begining.

This is a signal for something else in money markets. Just watch gold and silver over the next week. it will get crazy

 

good for them now if only they send the blood sucking migrants back to their own country

 

Win, lose, or draw, the people in charge will appoint a group to study the problem and continue the old game until the results come back in a couple years, and then appoint a group to draft the necessary laws, that will take a couple more years, then when the laws are drafted, the government will have to discuss them for a couple more years, then when they pass they will be taken to court and that will take a couple more years, then they will hold another election as conditions are now "worse" and public opinion has shifted as proven by a survey of 6 year olds taken at the local school. The faceless unelected hoard that run the country and the world will not give up their power.

 

I think it is great. Merkel is having a very bad day as other countries discuss following Britain. It will take a few years but Britain will be free from the EU. EU never should have gone after a tea drinking nations kettles probably tipped the vote.

Now EU fat cats ‘crack down on KETTLES & TOASTERS in Britain amid avalanche of regulation'

 

Good on them Limeys!!
