Ring up your pension fund and ask them how it's doing. Those types of ramifications. There are already people on threads here saying they're directly affected. Everyone else *thinks* they'll be okay just because. I have expat retired friends in France whose meagre income is in GBP. They can't afford the pound to become worth less or for the French economy to suffer as an indirect result. And bear in mind that all the damage done now will have to be undone.
Any idiot who invests in equities and is worried about short term volatility deserves all he gets!

& need to be reminded what happened in January this year - FTSE at 5500, now at 6033. The US/China often has greater influence on our markets.
A guy has just been saying that the Markets before the Referendum were strong because they believed we would vote Remain so there is some adjustments are because of that. Instead of reporting every single movement why not let them get on with it . The FTSE 100 was not down enough for Sky so they went for the 250.sidicks said:
It is far too early to say how the negotiations will evolve.
It's the very fact that we'll be in negotiations that will continue to cause the problem. Markets like certainty. An ongoing negotiation where no-one knows what the final state of play will be is the very opposite. Mario149 said:

Careful. That may alleviate some of the single track gloom and doom and pessimism, we can't have that.sidicks said:

An ostrich earlier today...
'It is clear now that project fear is over, there is not going to be an emergency budget, people’s pensions are safe, the pound is stable, markets are stable, I think that is all very good news.'
Thanks BoJo. That's another fine mess you got us into.

You may also ask them about how worried they are about the ending of the S1 scheme? I am sure that's cover in the Leave plan. What plan? You mean no one can find the plan?

The problem with referendums is that is that you give otherwise disengaged people potentially lots of influence but little sense of responsibility for what it brings. So you end up with Boaty McBoatface, Corbyn and Brexit
That's not a problem.What's the boat called?
What's happening to Corbyn and how?
Brexit is a brilliant future.
