Third try is a charm. Apparently an apostrophe in the title line destroys the known universe. I did ask the mods to fix or remove them as I couldn't access or open it either.
Anyway, here we go again.
I had to watch the mess last night, into the early morning about the UK leaving the EU. Now my stock broker had me liquidate the European stuff a few years ago,
so I probably did ok.
Markets were down 613 points in pre trading at 12:30 am EST June 24. Watching the BBC was interesting. On Fox you'd have an alert every 45 seconds, until you felt like telling the TV to get over itself and turn on relatively mindless videos on Youtube, like funny cats or funny chickens or something similar. Something people in my age group can understand.. CNN would have had a special report than ran forever and ever, amen.
The BBC reporting was calm and collected, like - and "whatevershire" votes "leaves". while "thatshire" votes "remains", and on and on it went. Good reporting, but compared to
US hype it was fascinating, but like watching a dryer tumble. I made up the names of the "shires" involved, they're still called that, to keep it accurate.
I did notice on Ebay a few things last night. First, SOME sellers of silver were selling numerous rolls of silver coins PER HOUR. NUMEROUS. Bet the new listings today with buy it now's are starting higher too. I had a couple gold listings up (coincidental to the voting), hadn't paid attention earlier to the vote and in 6 hours the bids were up 50%.
Now what does all this mean to us little people? I still had to go to work today. And this kind of thing has happened before, over and over and over again. History repeats itself.
One of my favorite quotes is "There is nothing new under the sun." That was written a long, long time ago, but not in a galaxy far, far away. King Solomon wrote it. If you forget who that was, try Google. Cheers! God save the Queen!
