Current Affairs EU In or Out

[The Esk]

I wouldn't though. I don't gamble. I don't want to lose money, and I don't feel good winning it. Just the way I am. The way I see it, for every winner buying champagne there's a family drinking water. If gambling didn't exist than those who want wealth would have to do something useful to society to get it.

That's fair enough mate, but I don't consider investing long or short as gambling. It's the application of knowledge and experience against the view of the market. It's a judgement call against other willing participants who hold a different view but are prepared to put investment capital at risk.

It's no different from what investment managers of pension funds do every day to generate your future pension - the only difference is who does it, professional pension fund managers or individuals?

What happens if Remain or Leave win by one single vote at the final count

Two wars in the Middle East followed by crippling national debt and a global market crash.

It's just returned to normal, artificially inflated the last couple of days, if it goes below the 4 that would be a significant drop.
