Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty" Yesterday many British companies had 20-30% wiped off their value in one day, the FTSE 250 had its largest single day loss ever, and the pound is at a low level it hasn't seen for 30 years.
This isn't opinion. It isn't scaremongering. It's actual fact. It's what actually happened in the last 36 hours.'"
Ok Mr Haggerty, let's analyse your figures in a bit more detail than your favourable isolated instances.
Many British companies had 20-30% wiped off their value.
Quite possibly true, but you should know (

) that isolated companies is no way to analyse an index. The FTSE 100 finished down on the day 1.4% (or 2.0% up over the week). That sounds like a pretty unremarkable day to me. The FTSE 250 closed 6.3% down on the day (or 2.0% down over the week). A little more volatile, but its finishing price was 0.3% up on that of a week & 1 day previous.
Whatever your views, these figures are hardly the armageddon & financial meltdown ALL REMAINER "EXPERTS"were forecasting.
Nice try at "doom & gloom", but must do better. I appreciate that it is just one 24 hour period immediately after the referendum & we don't yet know what next week will bring, but your figures were deliberately chosen to mislead people into believing something that did not happen.
Have just checked; the "many British companies" amount to 8:
1 bank
1 insurance company
1 airline
1 TV company
4 building companies

No I didn't. I voted to leave the EU based upon what I knew. But thanks for telling me what was going through my mind at the time.
Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty"They told experts that they knew better. Well they didn't.'"
How didn't we? What on earth has happened since Friday morning that justifies this inane conclusion. Name me one Brexiter who DIDN'T say there would be a period of uncertainty, affecting stock & currency markets, immediately after a Leave vote.
Quote Roy Haggerty="Roy Haggerty"We're not in the EU club now. They have no reason to play nice, and every reason to crush us. The proportion of our economy dependent on them is far, far bigger than the reverse. There are no friends in business.
This was a vote for economic suicide. It's of no consolation to be able to say I told you do, because you're dragging me and the other 48% down with you.'"
I'm glad we don't fight in trenches anymore, cos I sure as hell wouldn't want you beside me.
