What am I Zeus nobody predicts stocks, they just watch them happen. A 6/10 trader is Warren Buffet.

Generally export stocks rise, import stocks fall, purely domestic companies will be the least effected. Then you have to account for confidence in said economy, day traders may move their money into perceived safer options in prediction of a downturn. Or they may drive the prices up, if they think the long-term economic forecast looks good and the dollar is undervalued.

I have been thinking of getting into the British market on the back of this, no matter what way the ecomony goes money will be made. If I do, I'll let you know in 6 months how it goes.

what effect does the pound plummeting have on stocks dude? does it make them cheaper, less risk?

Dunno what index you have been tracking but the stocks peaked on Thursday.

just fcking americans. always interfering in everything

but guys, we're screwed, i saw it on facebook

"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. Not a bad first day of freedom." (Suzanne Evans, 2016)

While I don't deny that was a pretentious post(Have been drinking), if you had been paying attention at all, I was a stark leave supporter, so not quite true.

if we were leaving because of a younger voter base voting leave then the remain debate team would be saying

I really love that we're leaving the EU because of a 51.9% majority vote, mostly comprised of 18-27 year olds, whilst the minority are the people who have far more experience because they've lived for longer. Very excellent.

your argument implies that there are short term benefits that old people will take advantage of and long term disadvantages that old people won't have to worry about because they'll be dead but that just isn't the case

We'll all be back to watching the latest gender issue next week, waiting for the interesting news to happen.

Got it, thanks for clarifying. Either way, this isn't happening tomorrow.

Very curious to see how this all plays out.

EU Law requires there to be a national referendum to leave the EU, rather than a parliamentary vote, as per the Treaty of Lisbon. When Cameron is replaced, the new leader will invoke Article 50 and begin the two year countdown to leaving.

It might take a few years but we'll be far better off in the long run. I look forward to seeing similar things happening in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, France, Hungary, and Greece in the next couple of years.

I feel awful for my colleagues in the UK, they're all really gutted about the whole thing.

Doesn't parliament have to actually vote on this though to push it through? It's not like the UK automatically leaves the EU because 25% of eligible voters said so.

I still choose to blame George Bush for all of this.

What if we voted out because we want to watch the world burn?

If you voted out because of "unelected politicians" then well done because we're about to get an unelected prime minister.

If you voted out because of immigration then well done, because you just lost the right of free movement too. Just wait 'til you have to get a visa to go to Glasgow or Belfast.

If you voted out because people were "stealing your jobs" then well done, because you're about to see Germany and France "steal" Nissan and a bunch of other companies who only manufacture here as a gateway to the eu market.

If you voted out because you think we'll get a great trade deal with the EEA "like Norway did", think again. Take a look around your Sainsbury's Local and try and find any fruit and veg that's grown in the UK. We need them more than they need us, and like the EEA, we'll have to accept EU policies like free movement as part of a trade deal anyway - except now we won't be able to have any say in them.

If you voted out because of vague scaremongering headlines like "Migrant Crisis" then please, feel free to remind me when it was that Syria joined the EU.

If you voted out because Farage promised £350m for the NHS, then I'm sure you'll be happy to watch him on This Morning revealing that that was a lie.

If you voted out and you're heading into retirement, then great job! Because now the working people of this nation will break their backs to afford your pension without the influx of young, economically active and skilled EU migrants.

If you voted out because you think we'll be better off, the £ has just fallen by 8% against the dollar.

And if you voted out because you love this country, prepare to see it crumble, with threats of a unified Ireland and an independent Scotland just hours after the result was confirmed.

What's worse for Britain is that Scotland wants its own "Leave" option now.

If this isnt depressing I don't know what is

general terms worked mate, cheers. and i will look into it, i guess.

I don't know what you didn't understand. So I say it in more general terms. Liquid means asset can easily converted into cash.

Companies that require outside financing can be crippled by falling stock price. Companies with a large cash reserve won't be affected by day to day fluctuations. A majority of companies are highly illiquid.

The second question would require more time then I am willingly to give, but feel free to look in to it.

They are pumping money into the poorer countries because they own the debt and government bonds from those countries, if said countries such as Greece default, they lose those assets. I believe poorer countries suffer the most from being in the EU or adopting the Euro.
