~Just because Bilary doesn't have any businesses doesn't mean others don't. Trump supported his kids with the successful re-opening of Turnberry and was there for them.....just Like Hilary ran to Chelsea's side to see her new clump of cells.~ morelock

Which kids was he there for? The illegitimate ones ?? Or the ones he wanted to date? or the one that had the great "boobs" as he described?

What a great father figure!

Another good Christian.

The long term effects on both will be negligible.

Really? You take away a huge sector of the EU and that is a "negligible" long-term effect? Markets hate instability and uncertainty, and the Brexit has ensured that we have both...long-term. The UK is the world's 5th largest economy.

...or because any "gains" or "losses" are immaterial until you actually sell, you can sit back and watch the roller coaster....
My reply was to let you know that the ones who you said had to wait to see what they lost....didn't have to wait, there was another way. You definitely could have figured out what your loss was on your apple shares this way. I do understand your post by the way.

We shall see, but I doubt it. Obviously, you admire their Trump-like response, which was to do something that will probably cause their economy to implode. The big concern is that other large EU countries will follow, tanking the system and creating massive recession and job loss.

Kind of like what would happen if we put Trump in charge over here.
They are thinking long term. And that's how should be done.

Trump has made it abundantly clear that he supports the UK move, so let's see if he tries to walk it back when we have another day like Friday tomorrow. The Brexit basically tanked the world's stock markets, resulting in the loss of billions of investment dollars.

This all sounds so much like our "free market" and "let the market decide" BS, which the Republicans tout as the solution to all economic problems. The other thing here, OUT, is that being a "separatist" nation doesn't really work in an interconnected global economy.

I know it's a concept you disagree with, but the global nature of economies is a fact, kind of like global warming. Lots of facts and evidence, like our market dropping 3% in 1 day, France's over 14%, and other precipitous declines. Hard evidence in real money terms that the Brexit was a mistake.

Again....... those that voted to leave were thinking long term. They knew that the markets would drop in the short term but they also knew it would be temporary and will bounce back. Trump and global warming are irrelevant.

I'm glad that a "free" UK makes you happy, but free market philosophy and GOP principles of self-correction don't apply in Europe. They are worthless here, and even more so over there.

BS. The vote was reactionary. People's fears and angers were exploited.
Or could it be that they are tired of being controlled from afar?

You liberals, along with your socialist buddies in Europe, are just used to being reactive instead of proactive. You people want a quick fix. Its because of the fact that your decisions are based on emotions instead of logic. But now it's looking like some of your buddies have woke up and are starting to see that globalization and forced immigration doesn't work in the long term. It just doesn't.

OK, so if the UK kicks out all the minorities and adopts GOP-style thinking, Britannia will rule the world and the waves again? Give that a try and get back to me. Logic dictates staying in the EU. It's the emotions of xenophobia that made for a bad decision.

First of all.....who is kicking out, or advocating kicking out, minorities? No one.

Secondly......you obviously don't understand what xenophobia ACTUALLY means. Fear of immigration or immigrants isn't the issue. Fear of losing one's culture and security (because of an influx of people that don't belong there, don't really want to be there, and don't respect the local laws or customs there) to those immigrants is.

Oh, that's right. Conservatives LOVE minorities and respect all cultures, as long as they're primarily White, Christian, and conservative.

That's right, no xenophobia to see here. Just move along folks, just move along. Mr. Trump's next show will be at 10 pm when he discusses how much Muslims and Hispanics love his policies.

Wow. Two whole paragraphs and not even one fact. LOL!

The Impact of Brexit: What it Means for You - Ric Edelman

You might recall my analogy of the driver approaching an intersection with 4-way stop signs. With traffic coming from all directions, cyclists on the road, pedestrians in the crosswalk and kids tossing a ball near the corner, the best thing for the driver to do is…nothing. Sit tight, wait for the confusion to calm down, and soon enough you’ll be able to proceed safely through the intersection, with no adverse impact other than perhaps a slight delay before continuing on toward your destination.

The British vote brings us to such an intersection. There is no question that the vote’s biggest impact will be on the British themselves and, secondarily, on the rest of the EU. It is too early to say what the impact will be on the United States (quite frankly, it’s arguable that the impact will be favorable; mortgage rates have dropped as a result of the vote, creating a new – and possibly temporary – refinance opportunity). So until clarity emerges, it’s best not to do anything rash.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.

More and more minorities are conservatives.

Are they racists too?

Because you are implying that white, Christian conservatives are racists.

So, what about the people of color who are also conservatives?

The fear mongering was coming from the pro-EU side.

They claimed Britain would lose 850,000 jobs if Britain's voted to exit the EU.

A fear inducing tactic, wouldn't you say?

The EU bureaucrats won't be losing their jobs (of course).

Though Britain has voted to leave the European Union, the nearly 1,000 British nationals who work for the bloc's executive body won't have to quit their jobs if they don't want to.
