geordieh Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not nine but from a mate and it came from a Scotsman This is what has happened on our first day of FREEDOM:- A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don't want to wee on anyone's chips, but aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves? It's been less that 24 hours and the tree is still shaking and there will be plenty more uncertainty to come in the months to come so give it at least a few weeks to start to get some sort of idea as to how things play out.

I totally agree but I would give it 6 months or so, Hopefully things will have settled into something more normal by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 This has been pretty profound . Having to deal with gripes in work etc . Remain are bad losers but the doom and gloom stuff is giving them ammo . Keep on with the positive stuff as apart from the rugby it is all sour grapes out there . We need to hold our nerve and remember why we voted to be free . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRYAN3 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Lots of negative stuf being emphasized and repeated over and over. Faisal Islam and a few other biased innies just can't seem to shut up. By the way, has anyone heard those EU anouncements that were being held back till after the vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris B123 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I hope this is true, but I can't find any evidence of it, the ftse is down 199 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris B123 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 On a Saturday evening? You been drinking? So where does she get the figure from that it has rallied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 So where does she get the figure from that it has rallied? It was up on the week. It opened on Monday at 6,021, closed on Friday at 6,162. It fell Friday compared to Thursday close but still ended the week higher than it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris B123 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 AVB, thank you for the explanation, I just seen the 199 down and thought it was due to the vote, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 AVB, thank you for the explanation, I just seen the 199 down and thought it was due to the vote, No worries. The FTSE will probably fall heavily on Monday, might rebound a bit, and then swing wildly for the next few months until there is stability over Brexit plans. Should you be worried by this? No, It's a long term game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Exactly, the markets like stability, the status quo, anything else gives investors the jitters and so, you're likely to see a few ups and downs over the coming months as the impact of Brexit (if it happens) and the extent to which it affects trade is fleshed out.
