I got just one thing to say: Knowing that Bill and Hillary were against Brexit was all I needed to be for it. They are the most accurate political litmus papers on earth as far as I’m concerned! Pretty much if they’re for it, I’m against it!

Ok I’m going to say one more thing: F*** the g*dd*m Clintons all to hell!! I love that they got their asses handed to them once again! Woohoo!!

I do believe it Merkel ... and year-long Calais riots of Euro-sponsored activist muslim invaders running across the fences and into the Chunnel to get in the Britain that turned some voters.

I am an American and always will be. My family has been here since, and participated in the Revolution.

I have in spite of all of that, a fondness for the UK. I have gallons of British blood. I’m on pins and needles waiting to see if mankind still appreciates self-determination, or prefers something that seems easy in the moment, and Anne Frank and boxcars later.

When it’s official, I’m posting this.

And for every door that the EU closes with Britain, it should be an opportunity for the US to strengthen our relationship. That is, so long as our next president doesn’t wear a pant suit.

A lot of the talk going on is that the UK will forge new economic relationships with Russia and China. You can be sure Putin is relishing the thought of this happening. And you're right, Obama will seek to punish the UK, and Hillary would follow suit (pant suit of course). But this victory for the UK people on leaving the EU will lift Trump's chances of becoming President (which I believe he will do), and Trump will strengthen ties to the UK. It will take a couple years for the UK breakup to be finalized.

Listened to BBC World on the way home from work tonight.

They are STUNNED and Flabbergasted, with comments like “This is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE day for Britain!”, etc.

This simply CANNOT BE HAPPENING. Their Facebook accounts and Twitter accounts all told them this was impossible.

They were even trying to say “Uneducated people voted to leave, those with degrees voted to STAY!”

Looks like the 200 day moving average was the stop down limit. May not be open for long today. Than we have to worry about the never let a crisis go to waste DC Cartel figuring out a way to capitalize on the situation. Obama can blame this on the British people he admires so much.

The three unions split along historical ‘ethnic’ boundaries of Scandinavian, Germanic, and Mediterranean is very interesting.

CONGRATULATIONS TO GREAT BRITAIN!
Live Long and Free!!!!!!!

One of my greatest puzzlement (as a student of history) for decades now, is how a little nothing country, saved from the NAZI clutches, became so delusional as to see themselves as arbiter of the worth of so many countries better than themselves.

Let the new NAZIs finally own them and teach them the humility they so richly deserve.

Belgium can return to being a necessary fence between giants, with bootprints on it in every direction...

Good Riddance!

I think France will leave before the Netherlands. Although I heard that the EU is going to pass laws to prevent this from happening in other countries. The laws will ban leaving. I heard that tonight on the news.


Wow...Changing laws to prevent others from leaving...Guess they better get while getting is good!

Alrighty then, I would have zero interaction with a broker too arrogant to ask a question

I agree, but if you are a gambler buy now and keep your fingers crossed. If you are a investor, wait and see how this plays out. This could very well collapse the EU and if the EU collapses the markets world wide will tank.

I’m not a broker. I trade for my own account. That’s it.

I offer advice because I’d like to help those willing to listen.
