I'm saying EU membership wasn't a panacea and I don't believe in all the doomsday talk (not saying you're talking doomsday, but many of the Remainers are). I was comparing the mega collapse of the markets in 2008 to this type of uncharted territory of Brexit, and that in the end, it will work itself out in much the same.

I'm probably going to lose at least 10% of my portfolio tomorrow if not more. Short-term pain. Longterm it will correct.

Congrats on Brexit! A shocking "no" to the globalist elite.

When I woke up, I was a bit shocked about the Brexit leave. I do feel sorry for those British nationals who live outside the UK in the EU and vise versa (less than 15 years ) or might have just gotten a job outside the UK in the EU. But then, it is Midsummer here in Sweden and today is just going to be a day of drinking, partying, and dancing around the Midsummer pole.

Thanks to the UK though for giving us in Sweden a great topic of discussion between shots though.

And cheers also to those who are currently in the customs lines from Gibralter to Spain. Spain is going to have a field day today with you guys.

I guess though that if you replace the Midsummer pole with a great big middle finger..well that is the equivalent of what the UK is doing right now.

Actually no. Once the EU becomes a full nation, it's representatives are not going to be elected by the people and the laws out in place will not be chosen by representatives of the people.

Can you expand your point of what they said no to? Cause they just said yes to a crapload of paperwork and woke up to a devalued pound. In other words, what are the longterm economic positives of the move? Just curious as your statement supports the move.

Who knows, maybe it is a good thing they did it in the end.
