I'm kinda hoping France will help all those people in Calais to a train ticket.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

At least we didn't willingly vote to fuck the economy.

To be fair, we have plenty of voters here that continuously vote against their own interests.

I'm really shocked Leave won. I mean, I just have an American perspective. The market always reacts very drastically to uncertainty. Staying in would have left things stable, leaving was definitely going to cause a wave. Stuff like this just screws over the people who voted for it and they become more bitter.

So since the Chinese are scooping up the good property in the US, does this mean I should buy some in the UK

 

[totowhoa]

Hoooly shit. This looked way different hours ago when I checked in on this.

Good luck neighbors.

 

[djplaeskool]

They better not fuck up the US' economy

The yen is running out of fucking control. We're going to get hammered.
I think the Japanese Finance Minister is slated to talk about the ramifications, and the BOJ may intervene to keep things in check.

 

[MrChocolate]

Democracy doesn't fucking work.

But it does. Only a fascist would think otherwise.

Man, it's like Kansas but on a nationwide scale. This whole thing makes November that much scarier.

The Chinese are scooping up US properties because they're worried that their economy is about to crater after years of artificial GDP growth. US real estate in comparison is a safe bet. The situation is slightly different there.

As to the UK, Jesus, Brits. We trusted you not to fuck yourselves, and the world, over.

What's this going to do to the Aus dollar relative to the US? Are investors going to flee home, driving the US up? Will it stop the fed from raising rates?

 

[commedieu]

Yeah what's going to happen with usa housing?

Janet Yellen is probably passed out drunk on the floor of a hotel suite somewhere right now.

Does this mean I can buy stuff from UK at a lower price to US?

Such as what-cha.com?

London will be the new main destination for European stag nights, right?

Goddamn it Dennis lol

Asos has been down since this started, hoo boy.

 

[boingball]

Well, if the pound crashes a little bit more, the UK could see an industrial renaissance and compete with China. Unfortunately I am leaving Northern Ireland today, too late for my vacation.

 

[Lautaro]

But it does. Only a fascist would think otherwise.

If not wanting to put "/s" in my posts makes me a fascist then so be it!

Great fucking job guys.

 

[dallow_bg]

Too good.

Tonight I am thankful for the senate and presidential veto power. It's mad that obvious checks and balances doesn't exist there.

LMAO

I apologize, tonight I don't know who is being sarcastic and who isn't.

Google Trends reports that the search engine has seen a 250% spike in searches of the question “What happens if we leave the E.U.?”

[HideyoshiJP]

Welp. There goes my Japan vacation next year. Down to 101 yen per dollar. They were already having enough trouble with yen deflation. Maybe it's time to pull some sort of stimulus package stunt. Free money for everybody!

 

[MadraptorMan]

I have what is now exactly $15k in yen...should I be sending this home to the US? Haha.

Haha, California could've told you that. Direct democracy can be a crapshoot.

[Bam Bam Baklava]

To some extent, this does seem like more panic overreaction than a necessary adjustment. The econ forecasts for what would happen were a net negative for the UK, but not an apocalypse.

I'm 25 and I'm not looking forward to my future in this country anymore. I promised myself I would live and die in this country because I loved my country, now I seek something else, somewhere else.

BREAKING: S&P says United Kingdom's AAA rating is "untenable" after Brexit vote - FT

Wow.

 

[vinnygambini]

The pound has already slumped to a 31-year low, but more weakness is in store for sterling as the consequences of a Brexit unfolds, according to HSBC.

In a note out early Friday morning, the bank’s currency strategists forecast the pound will fall to $1.25 by the end of the third quarter and to $1.20 by the end of the year.

“This is a seismic and largely unexpected event which is likely to have a massive impact on financial markets,” the analysts said.

You were happy watching southern Europe getting crushed in the economic doldrums at your gain then?

When I say your gain, I mean an austerity government.

Thanks UK

I read Videgaray asked for a meeting tomorrow before the market opens :/

It's the bankers betting on currency heavily all night because it's the only thing they can bet on. They'd bet on rubber dog shit if they could on this subject.

The pound's dropped 10% so far, which is in line with the most recent predictions. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/17/british-pound-expected-to-drop-10-on-brexit-leave-victory.html

Welp...

 

[MisterFalcon]

Isn't everyone gloating over this kind of supporting the end of the Euro as a single currency ?

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

So if I wanted to take a nice long Vacation in the UK, is now the time to do it?

Hotels/food and stuff will be cheap now, right? Or would it be more expensive since the British Pound is so down?

 

[Chiggs]

I'm probably going to take a trip to England this year.

 

[phants]

It's hard finding a currency tracking website at the moment; they all seem to be suffering from DDOS. Hell of an end to the week :/

 

[paradise_circus]

are there any statistics out there showing the demographics about the decision. I have the awful feeling that the 50+ citizens are the cause of the outcome.

Best to buy property in London proper now, where home prices have fallen to what you'd find in Dallas, Texas.

Dude the government doesn't have to follow through with the result of the referendum.
