That's why I said when current jitters subside! If the pound stays low there will be good opportunities for overseas investors in a few months time. That said, I think the market peaked a few months back - rents being demanded too high, tenants leaving and new tenants not being found. Also, in London the tower crane test makes it looks like we have peaked - they are everywhere - which normally signals a big market fall.

About 47% (realistically c. 44%) of UK exports are to EU countries. That proportion was 55% at the turn of the century. It's importance is waning. That's where the opportunity lies, already USA, Canada, China, NZ, Australia etc have made noises about signing free-trade agreements with us when we leave the EU. We have a trade deficit with the EU but a surplus with the rest of the world, which again suggests opportunity. Now is a great time to leave and if we go through with it within 10 years we'll reap rewards. The big issue is not leaving but uncertainty due to the political vacuum. Sooner we negotiate and create certainty the better for the real economy and the markets. Simple as that.

Quote ="Charlie Sheen"Here's a very interesting read... www.forbes.com/sites/stevekeen/2 ... 5cdf9446f8'" That was a great read and backs up my O.P in regards the bankers creation of unsustainable credit (debt) will be the cause of any downturns, not Brexit.

In the next few months the EU face a massive problem with the Italian banks. They have billions of euros of bad debt, some of this was left over from the last banking trauma.
We live in extremely interesting but frightening times. Lots of financial and political commentators have pontificated over our EU exit. My main concern is we are in uncharted waters, so we certainly have no previous experience of any outcomes.
I voted to remain, as I suspected it's already costing me a great deal of money. I visit the USA several times a year to visit my family. I am in the USA at the moment the exchange rate is the worst I have ever experienced. Also my retirement investments are mostly in industrial property this value has dropped substantially.
I can't even hold the main culprits to account, Johnson and Farrage have walked away from the mess they have created .

The main disappearance is ' call me Dave ' despite his claims he wouldn't

Well of course not. Anyone who wasnt a racist or bigot, or had a simple grasp of economics would have voted remain. Sadly, 75% of our nation are thick and believed what facebook told them. There was absolutely no advantage to voting out at all.

We are not out of the EU and have not even started the process. Quite how people can judge the economic impact if leaving yet is beyond me. People need a sense of perspective!

Interesting turn of phrase there , but perhaps it takes one to know one

As usual the insults continue just as they did before the referendum

Time will take its course and we will live with both the consequences and benefits , nobody yet knows what they will be , except of course our armchair experts on RL fans

Never mind Brexit. Deutsche Bank's imminent collapse is what we should be worried about.

Pound surges as news of Leadsom quitting emerges.

I wouldn't call a 0.25% rise a "surge"

And I have children!

FTSE 100 at 11 month high. Countries queuing up to enter trade deals with us, Boeing to create 1,000s of jobs here. Sooner we get out, sooner we can reap the economic benefits.

Well so it's PM May , who'd have thunk or predicted that a month ago ?

Reasonably happy with that , she seems to be of the opinion of getting on with initiating Brexit ASAP , which is a good thing IMO , Dave's bottle out had put us in a poor position

May was always the likely PM. I recall at the start of the Brexit campaign the press reporting she was hedging her bets for the leadership by expressing on balance "in" view. She kept a low-profile during campaign. It was all to look loyal, despite her previous Euro scepticism. Establishment candidate who was always the shoe0in if Cameron failed or only narrowly won.

i see siemens have changed their mind in the news today, threatening before if we exit and now totally backtraked

Too good to last

Ah well!!

I voted to remain in the EU. 2-3 weeks on I'm thinking I may have got it wrong. I'm liking the recent positivity.

Yes, the sooner the whingers get over themselves, the sooner we can get on with what HAS to be done.
Please, please, let's be positive and stop talking ourselves down.

I too am fed up of hearing people whining about what what might happen and how we should have a second referendum and how it's not legally binding and how the remainers are more superior than the leavers and how the 48% need to protest protest protest with their hand scrawled cardboard plaques. Let's just get on with the process the 52% voted for.

It's one thing to vote to take us all into an economic crisis. It's another thing to demand those who disagree with you stop expressing an opinion. But then, Ian Hislop has already expressed this better than I can.

No issue with anybody's opinion , but it is just that , an opinion , it isn't fact until it happens , overal I'll just be glad when ' remainers ' stop calling everybody else they disagree with bigots , it seems slightly hypocritical to do so , wouldnt you say

It would be, and I'm not calling anyone a bigot here.

I wasn't suggesting you have , we ( myself and you ) did manage to have reasoned discussions , others haven't , and still cannot

My post was a generalisation , just as others are doing
