Ericsson wrote:UK voted for what they saw as beneficial to their country. Majority of the media stations are focussing too much on t the negative aspects of how UK will suffer instead of looking at also the benefits they will derive like ability to chart their own policy without intereference, control of the number of immigrants BBC wrote:
European Union leaders have warned that the UK must honour the principle of free movement of people if it wants to retain access to the single market after it leaves the bloc.
European Council President Donald Tusk said the UK could not pick and choose.
The French and German leaders also made clear that the freedom of movement of EU citizens was non-negotiable
In all honesty, Britain cannot survive without the EU and if you take off scotland it gets worse. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

1) Will there be another referendum?? NO
2) Who will pull the trigger and activate article 50 - officially indicating Britain wants to leave the EU. Cameron is out by Oct. Boris Johnson is expected to takeover as PM and activate article 50
3) How soon will this be done? Three months? Two years? Some Brexit proponents now claim they have up to four years!! Britain wants this in Oct witht he new PM. Europe wants it done immediately so give it 1-3 months timeline
4) Will there be pre negotiations before invoking article 50? EU already said No
5) Will the EU try to make an example of Britain or is it likely to be a friendly divorce? Would be counter-productive, they will par ways in an arms-length mature and professional manner
6) What model will Britain get? Common market? free movement? Most likely whatever Norway currently has for starters
7) Will Britain join the WTO?? It was a member of WTO through EU. 99% yes
8) When will they get the next Prime Minister. By Oct 2016
9) Who will be the next Prime Minister?? Boris Johnson, he midwifed the Brexit vote, he cannot run away from the PM post to be vacated by Cameron, if he refuses to take the position, his carear is over.
10) Will Scotland block BREXIT? No they have no way of doing that
11) Will Scotland leave the UK? No
Etc.
Not a nice environment to have you money tied up! There, no more unknowns  I do believe the world of finance has factored in all this scenarios in the pricing of whatever is being traded. @Obi 1 Kanobi - Your assertions have started collapsing. Not only will Boris Johnson not be the next Prime Minister, he is not even vying. He just said so in a speech a few minutes ago. So you can strike off your answers to number 2 and 9. Now you understand why the above are unknowns!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

A number of people invested their careers backing Boris Johnson imagining/believing he will be the next Prime Minister. Now they are out in the cold. I said earlier that Boris Johnson didn't really believe in Brexit and took the leave side as a political fight with David Cameron and didn't even think Brexit would win!!! The silence since the Brexit win and now this proves this point!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I wish these idiots who visit foreign capitals for "bench marking" on even how to collect garbage can visit London to see what peaceful protests are!!! The sight of people in a protest carrying children is a sight to behold!! In Nairobi/Kenya I can NOT dare go to within 300 metres of a "peaceful" demonstration by myself, let alone with a kid!!! If possible I avoid the general geographic area all together! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Nigel Farage quits as the leader of UK Independence Party. Talk about captains abandoning the ship!!! Farage has been a pro Brexit long before the word was coined. Now, when you expect him to be at the fore front in the team negotiating the exit, he bails!!! Boris Johnson did the same!!! Farage though plans to see out his term in the European Parliament - after insulting everyone the last time he was there => "I know most of you have never held a real job before... or created a job..." Back to doing a "real" job???Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

The silence since the Brexit win and now this proves this point!!! Quote:Former Tory MP Ken Clark was caught on camera yesterday saying as much about Boris Johnson, saying:
"I don't think either Andrea Leadsom [a candidate to lead the Conservatives] or Boris Johnson actually are in favour of leaving the European Union," said Clark to fellow guest and former conservative cabinet minister Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
And Rifkind did not disagree.
"Well I don't think they even cared very much either way," he responded. Link...Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Schupid Britons! No one can. The situation in Britain is one no business or investment ever wants. UNPREDICTABILITY!! No one knows anything!!!

When your investment banker/advisor tells you no one can predict what will happen next and the direction everything and anything will take, they are telling you pretty much ujipange!!! And in such cases kujipanga is to sell or sit on your hands if your were not holding anything - don't buy. Free advice, if you hold pounds or any pound denominated investments, ditch them ASAP!!!

Michael Gove out!!! Theresa May most probably will be the next Prime Minister. Andrea Leadsom has a slim chance - if the "base" still believes in Brexit, she might have an advantage because she was a pro leave. Remember most of the Conservative Party were Pro Stay and hence the reason for Theresa May's big win at the parliamentary stage. No it is over to the Party membership. Let's see which side they swing. Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@Swenani - You will not like this joke/fact. Like in the 80s, Britain will have a female Prime Minister. The Pound is also back where it was in the 80s!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Theresa May- Brexit is Brexit , no going back again to Egypt, will need their own Cannan!!!! That good news from a woman ready to midwife Britain on her own. When Britain become very rich they will not lose their riches to sitting ducks. They will control immigration from other European nations flooding UK and can try to balance equation may be by introducing a Green card system.
