Why am I thinking the pound is being manipulated here by certain malicious individuals?

Got no hard proof, but I just can’t shake that feeling.

Independence must be punished!!

“Soros at work - again.”

Just what I was thinking, he will likely double his net worth after this.

That’s like saying a freshly scraped knee is bleeding. They try to make much of it in order to scare the rest of three EU into compliance. When things settle down a bit, it won’t work for them.

Not even statistically significant. I thought for sure the world was going to end with brexit. Congrats to the Brits!

My daughter is finishing up a three year post-doc fellowship at Cambridge. She’s losing money on this, a 10% cut in her salary as of now. She’s just glad it happened at the tail end of her fellowship.

Have you ever wondered why they halt trading when stocks go way down—but never halt trading when stocks go way up...

Think about it.

P.S. If you like gambling visit your local casino—it is a fairer game than the stock market.

I spent a week in York and surrounding areas early this month. I think I only saw one person wearing a hijab the entire time I was there.

When the game is not going your way, have a temper tantrum and turn over the chess board.
