Though certainly sensationalized, which point isn't true in your opinion. The pound isn't worthless, but is at a record low against trading partners. Jobs are being lost, that's a given. The cost of living is definitely rising, the figures are there to back it up. Of course there's a few sides to every story. Sterling is low, that will help exports, which in turn may create jobs. Though the expected £65 billion pounds lost to the exchequer, which represents 9.5% of the UK's GDP is a fact, that's hard to ignore. | |||

How long for? No idea. If I could predict that I'd still be trading. Actually, I wouldn't, I'd be sat in my villa somewhere with a much more pleasant climate than the UK. I've not seen these fluctuations in sterling. But really, short term it doesn't mean much. The next bit of good or bad news will affect it again. Good news it will rally, bad it will dip. I suspect it will pick up when the anticipated bad news doesn't materialise. All markets are prone to the occasional erratic swing, often affected by things beyond market control.

Many traders won't have experienced sterling swings like this, but they will have of other currencies. We tend to see a week sterling as bad, long term it would be for sure. On the flipside it's good for exports, so it's very much swings and roundabouts. Anyone trying to trade a strong sterling (which they wont unless they're criminally insane) would be dissapointed. The export industry would be happier. Forex traders will profit whether a currency is strong or weak. Personally I think it's an erratic swing as a result of the predicted £65b "loss". Which isn't a loss, it's a prediction which was part of a vote winning strategy. Also for around 15 years in the future, where no one really knows what will happen. Interesting debate/thread this.

Frequently what we feel or fear is a false reality. I hope you're able to see more positivity in the future. | |||

All this panic at the moment is due to the uncertainty.
Merkel won't be running Germany much longer, that's one obstacle out of the way.
The citizens of other European countries are thinking along the lines of Brexit.
If Trump becomes President, the money markets will be all over the place.
In 20 years the EU will be a collapsed idea, the same as Communism.
"So in 20 years, the 27 (current) EU states will have all collapsed? Or are you saying that the current version of the EU that you don't like will have changed into something different? What radical Brexiters are patently missing is the unions of countries joining for the greater good and a common cause is a fundamentally good idea. The fundamentalists can't accept this because they can't accept that anyone else can be equal to or as good as the true, white and glorious indigenous Brit, descendants of the Empire builders and conquerors of the world. The EU will neither fail, nor collapse but it will for sure be as different in 20 years from today as it was 20 years ago. The world is ever changing and the EU being a collection of sovereign and independent nations will change according to the will of those nations and their citizens. | |||

Let's have a look at what else hasn't been signed off for God knows how long: The U.K. Whole of Government Accounts (qualified every year since their inception) The DWP accounts (qualified every year since 1988/89) The Ministry of Defence accounts (qualified for 7 years in a row and counting) Department for Education (adverse opinion issued by the Auditor General in 2016) It seems strange to me that someone who uses accounts not being signed off by their auditors as a sign of corruption would vote to give more power to institutions which also can't get their accounts signed off by their auditors... | |||

All joining together for the greater good. All creating a panacea and a wonderful union. I think that was what used to be called communism. The trouble is, it does not recognise differences and aspirations. It encourages Greece and other untenable countries to join for the sake of subsidies. It does not encourage reward for effort or risk. Yes. The EU will destroy itself before long. It is unsustainable, philosophically, geographically and economically. It might have worked while a common market but not as a political union. A stupid idea. | |||

It adds more gravitas and makes the statement more plausible. It's especially important to write FACT when it isn't. *this has been a public service information broadcast. Though certainly sensationalized, which point isn't true in your opinion. The pound isn't worthless, but is at a record low against trading partners. Jobs are being lost, that's a given. The cost of living is definitely rising, the figures are there to back it up. Of course there's a few sides to every story. Sterling is low, that will help exports, which in turn may create jobs. Though the expected £65 billion pounds lost to the exchequer, which represents 9.5% of the UK's GDP is a fact, that's hard to ignore. " In 1972, before we joined the EU, the £ bought $2:65.... it then lost 40% of its value....down to $1:56. Jobs are not being lost... Unemployment has fallen. The cost of living rises every year....
