Yup. Total freak out that will level back out in a month or so. Gold is on a tear, probably going to sell some of mine.

Sold most of my gold over $1700

I really think this is all a bit of a tempest in a teapot. Unless the EU decides to shoot themselves in the foot and threaten punitive tariffs I doubt there will really be a big change. The UK is a net importer so the EU would really be hurting themselves and be directly contradicting their message of the importance of free trade.

I think they have to be very careful, quite a few other EU nations are unhappy with many aspects of EU membership.

The second thing you said shows how wrong the first one is.

I think the EU might seriously consider punishing the UK as a warning to all the other members who might try to blackmail or abandon it.

It's possible, but unlikely and I think even the EU leadership recognizes that fear and bullying aren't a great way to lead when there is a growing tide of nationalism and anti-Brussels sentiment.

It's especially true if you were a country that didn't adopt the euro or if you're concerned about how much pull Germany has. I mean shit, France has people calling for a referendum. Unlikely there, but the Netherlands, Sweden, the Swiss. Those are real possible outs.

This seems to be the politics du jour in the world right now...

Just think too... if Al Gore had done a better job in Florida in 2000, we would have never invaded Iraq, Iraq wouldn't have become the destabilized mess that created a refugee crisis, people in the UK wouldn't have become so racist, and this vote would have never happened.

god damn, all because a butterfly flapped its wings

except that the majority of supposed "refugees" to Europe are actually economic migrants from all over, with many of them using the refugee label as a cover to get in.

Huh?

Christ, yeah, sorry. Should have been Denmark. It's early here and I've been reading way too much about various trade deals and who is in what.
