Oh Dear™

Where to begin with this one?

Because the global economy is an unfettered, unvarnished, turd and it couldn't cope with a quarter point increase in base rate by the Fed, let alone Brexit. The sooner we face economic reality, the better.

Over-valued global markets will fall ~10-30% and Sterling perhaps 10-20% in the short-term. Everyone knows this. Were this a decision for the next 1-5 years, I don't think anyone would back Brexit. Fortunately, people aren't that stupid, and ~50% will be backing Brexit

Markets do not like uncertainty but if like me, you are invested for the long term, just sit it out, I will and have no worries about the long term. I'm voting Leave btw.
