I was watching the BBC and like half the night was spent with them bringing a Remainer on and saying "Well how do you feel about the fact that we're leaving" and the remainer spending their whole time saying "Well, it's not a done deal yet, we don't KNOW that we're leaving, there are still some votes to be counted" even as every declaration threw more and more onto Leave's fat lead and you could see in the background of every shot of a BBC correspondent at a Remain HQ that they were the only person still there, reporting on a ghost town as everyone had already gone home to commit suicide

No, my money is in the UK but I don't actually live there, so I've effectively lost a fair bit of money today in real terms. I'm only half serious, because I expect GBP to bounce back over the next few months and I'm far too much of a pussy to invest in stocks for short term gains, it's just interesting for me to see where the opportunities are in situations like these.

there's also the degradation of the EU who have shown in recent times that they have exceeded simply being inept into outright being nefarious, and the whole weakening of TPP, and the fact that the majority of the decline is artificial, and current anti-immigrant sentiment is a topical thing that won't last if things in britain improve (i.e Tories Get Out)
