Brexit: Sellout eroded $2.02 trillion in market capitalization globally. British say, "No problem." Not a problem? Biiiiiiigggg!

Don't you think this is a big problem? Markets are continuing to erode today!

    I don't know. Is it a problem?

    Should a resident of Slough give a hoot whether his election choices will cause the investment portfolio of someone in Singapore to marginally decline?

    If reinstating slavery or allowing trans-national corporations to employ 10-year-olds 70 hours per week while paying them with bread and water would cause global market capitalization to increase by $5 trillion, should the governments of the world allow those practices?

    I thought the Brexit was a poor choice, but all the change in market capitalization tells us is the Rich/Corporate are unhappy about it.

  • Oh, it's a problem, but not for rich people who hide their money in offshore accounts. Companies will just use it as an excuse to lay off more people and make the remaining people do 3 or 4 jobs. No problem. We've been through this before.

     Well now, how many times has the market stumbled and recovered?

    Markets go stupid ober the dumbest things. Nothing really changed other than the UK doesn't have to bow down to Brussels any more. That's all.

    I don't like how this changed. Not necessarily THAT it changed.  I do not appreciate knowing this can happen due to a smattering of votes one way or another.  This should have been handled differently than what seems like a last minute rush to change THE FUCKING ECONOMY.  You know?

    Markets bounce back. What's more important is now England will decide for themselves how to run their own country. I'm hoping more countries leave.
