Well, the CAD will be stronger against the GBP, so that's good for trade maybe.
this is depressing, but I had to laugh at the comment

Nothing! I said nothing!
Now they might yeah. If we take the Euro.
I struggle to have any sympathy for one of the main players in the 2008 crash.....trying to make people feel sorry for banks is a sure way to make them feel they were right

I stand corrected. Stupid fuckers. Of all the places in the UK to benefit, Wales was one of the most obvious.

You guys wanna play this market tomorrow, buy this:

This is what they call an "Inverse ETF", it attempts to move in the inverse of the S&P 500 at a rate of 300%. So this a big play, if the S&P 500 craters by 10% tomorrow like the Nikkei is right now, you make 30%. Of course, though it's very unlikely the S&P 500 goes up tomorrow, if it does go up, you lost triple of what it gained.

Given the leave campaign's primary focus, it seems unlikely they want to be in the situation of countries like Norway.

Leave voters literally broke the country: Scotland has a good out, NI has an out, UK economy is falling, and the issues the Leave party want to fix cannot be fixed by leaving. They essentially fucked themselves over and will not get any thing out of it.
The morons are in the process of wrecking their country.
If I lived in the UK and I knew someone who voted Leave I'd drop them as a person I know.

Technically yes but he'd likely have a revolution on his hands.
I am dreading the announcements we're going to see from big business in the coming days.

Direct democracy is the crucial work. There is a story about the Ancient Greeks that shows the problem with it, it is too long to write, but it emphasises the emotional factor and how quickly people change their minds.
A lot of people will be feeling regret in two years time.
It was gaining before but now it feel 2 yen in less that 1 hr.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The problem is the Remain camp never had an answer for the last image.
People who are already in hard times aren't gonna suddenly be moved by the idea of if you vote leave your gonna be in for economic hard times.
Remain camp couldn't convince enough regular people in the middle on a micro economic level that their situation would get better by staying.
Sure the racists got what they wanted, but they were just feeding on the current climate for many.
Agreed, as a leave voter I will be savage if we sign up for anything that allows free movement

I'm in shock and mad as fuck.
All my life I've worked hard and been good. When I got married my wife and I kept spending down and she budgets every penny. We've kept our head above water never been in debt and never burdened the system. Now because of this. I don't flipping kniw. I'm shocked . I dont know what will happen now.
People on Facebook telling me I am butthurt . Putting up independence day posts.
Cameron is really going to do this isn't he. Won't say I have no faith we can do this. We better negotiate for our lifes

Japan has halted trading.
This is devastating for you guys in the UK, and everyone in EU.
I feel for you guys, I'm truly sorry. That said, i'm hoping EU will utterly fuck you up economically just to let everyone else know that leaving is a terrible idea and will kill your country.
I hope Scotland and Northern Ireland will break out from the GB and this day will be remembered in history as a day the Great Britain was destroyed.

Nikkei is getting hit due to the rising Yen messing with the attempts to put the economy back on track.

Yep, this has opened the biggest can of worms ever, huge constitutional crisis, we voted heavily to remain that will not be ignored, otherwise watch what happens to indy support. What a fucking mess.
Why not just short it and ride it down?
Shorting leaves you exposed to unlimited liability. Tread carefully.
Good move, they will be wrecked by a strong yen
A simple message that hard times will get even harder?

Easy to blame UKIP but FUCK YOU, Remain voters too lazy to get out and vote.
Won't happen but I'd love todays vote to be a tester and we all come out and vote for realsies in a few months time or next year.

While not as UK voter, I did vote in the poll, thinking that Remain would win. Damn, was I wrong.
Hope that this doesn't sting you in the long run, but it probably will, UK.

For more than 50 years EU has been a leading force in safeguarding us from bloodshed after centuries of constant warfare, rivalry and instability across Europe. It ushered us into an era of peace and prosperity while greatly strengthened the bonds between neighboring countries. No one said the EU was perfect, but we really do make the best progress when we work together rather than alone, so it's really is sad to see one of its leading and most important nations leave because of fear and ignorance.
This is just a very sad day for Europe.
