OT Brexit Vote
- Thread starter RUtix4me
- Start date
Well, I for one am sick of carrying the welfare deadbeat states in the south, when are the referendums for northeast and west coast "elites"?

Newsflash: the people pointing out the racism aren't the ones injecting it. Hell, in the school thread we had a guy with a CSA flag in his profile talking about stupid black kids.
From a 2014 Article: "In 2005 -- the most recent year analyzed by the Tax Foundation -- the federal government gave New Jersey 61 cents for every dollar it took. That was the smallest return of any state."
Can we go back out to Monmouth Battlefield and start seceding now?

You know I was just reading that the top searches in the UK since the vote which are triple the usual traffic I believe are What is the EU, What does leaving the EU mean and similar.
Sounds like some uniformed voting going on. How can you vote without knowing how things actually affect you. Was reading about some regret from leave voters not thinking it would happen or using as a protest but not wanting to actually leave. Hard to know how many of those there are though. I think just anger had to be directed at something and the EU was the target whether they knew what it was or how it affected them.

It's funny to see whiny man bun wearing libs complaining about this. It's a great day for the internet.
Market showing a little more weakness now in the middle of the day but defensives still hanging in there. Two times of day I like to look at, around the Euro market closes in the morning and the last couple hours of the trading day. So we'll see what happens into today's close going into a weekend.
The Dow went up 240 points or so yesterday, right? Investors have to keep that in mind in assessing today's fall.
Totally agreed, it's f#cking hilarious watching markets crushing around the world, let the educated adults worry about real world implications.
On a Friday afternoon, people are more inclined to go safe and sell before the weekend in case there's bad news headlines over the weekend. This is not surprising. I put some money into emerging markets this morning. Whenever something happens, people assume emerging markets are like eggs and will crack more than other places causing a massive negative reaction in those countries. I can't see the Brexit having much of an impact at all on some of these countries, so its a good place to go IMO if you're looking to roll the dice and make some money.
Or opportunities are being presented.
Or are you an alarmist that thinks the world is ending?
Actually the fall in the morning wasn't that bad especially considering yesterday's gains. It was actually quite "normal" IMO and didn't feel like much panic. It's weakening some now but like I said above the defensives are still hanging in there. It's heading into a weekend so you wonder how many are willing to hold with any possible headline risks over the weekend so it's possible a move could get exacerbated. But we'll see how it closes today and then early next week. Haven't done much today really, except for a little NKE in the morning.
well that's a lot more generous than my school disitrict is getting.
Agree with you.
I'm a chicken when it comes to dice rolling, lol. The NKEs, SBUXs, UAs, KRs, HRLs, GILDs, CELGs, etc are pretty much as far out on the risk curve I go. I have a universe of probably a couple hundred names I look at but most really aren't far out on the risk curve in a general sense. I always say know your own psychology and trade accordingly. I know mine and those kind of names are my limits and it's served me well. Everyone is different though.
I usually like the yield/safety plays but all of them are just too expensive with everyone hoarding into them. Only really had one opportunity in recent times when all the Fed governors were chirping about a June rate hike. Gave me a shot at SO and VZ. Have since sold. Of course rates aren't going anywhere now so don't know when I'll see another chance.
Isn't there a slight difference between carrying southern states vs countries you have no ties to? At least the South gives me enjoyment 12 Saturdays every fall.
A big fan of Oliver, and on balance I can see the +/- arguments slightly favoring Stay. But his is overall characterization is a head scratcher. Insane? Not an economist, but even HIS math makes this reaction seem a bit overly dramatic.
Haha, the guy compares the EU to a fat rapist from France and then tries to explain why leaving is bad. The EU is about to finalize a deal with Turkey. When this deal is completed, the EU is done. That's why Brexit passed.
Maybe the B1G and PAC12 could force onerous academic requirements on the SEC and ACC, and those states could secede along with their teams. .
The South also sends 44% of military recruits compared to the Northeast's 14%. With military now being forced to cater to cross-dressers etc the East might go up a click.
I wish they would but I suspect they're content to just collect their subsidies while continuing to rail against the very thing that's keeping them afloat, socialism.
Indeed - and add in Calais ("the Jungle") with "mIgrants" hijacking trucks and jumping trains. Merkel put the knife in EU when she encouraged the invasions.
"Now all of a sudden we are facing the challenge that refugees are coming to Europe and we are vulnerable, as we see, because we do not yet have the order, the control, that we would like to have."
Ya think Angela?
Another day, another lorry ambush in Calais

Britain now dumping £1 BILLION worth of food contaminated by Calais migrants EVERY YEAR

Typical misleading post by abc. The south has twice as many people as the northeast, so that would be more like 44-28%. Still a difference, but nowhere near what you implied. And, of course, you failed to provide a source for your data.

If by "not by much", you mean the chasm that 1000s of years of cultural differences creates, then you're on the money.
It's a hedge for when the next migration is complete.
The Southeastern States once drove the agricultural economy. Then the factories of NE. Then the mines of WV and mills of PA and OH. Now the financial and service sectors of DC-NY-BOS. More recently (on a long-term scale) you have the rise of SFO-DFW-ATL-CLT with population centers moving South and West while CT & NJ use taxes to drive away business and wealth.
Yes and a lot of them are old people retired from North.
The population for recruits is limited to 18-24 yr olds
"According to the Defense Department, differences exist at the regional level as well. In 2013, 44% of all military recruits came from the South, despite it having only 36% of the country’s 18-24 year-old civilian population.
By contrast, the Northeast was the most underrepresented region of the country; only 14% of new enlistments came from this area, compared to 18% of its 18-24 year-old population."

Ah, finally some facts and common sense. Throw Australia into that category too. The EU is preventing the UK from trading with its best and most natural partners. UK or England will be fine.
It's a lot of short term turmoil and inconveniences, but if Switzerland can survive without the EU, so can the UK. Although it is possible the UK fractures over this, which would also probably wind up just fine in the end, after more short term turmoil.
I actually spend a lot of time in Italy every year. Just got back from 3 weeks. Among the "real" people I spend time with their is not much love for the EU. If a referendum was held in every country in the EU, it would not surprise me if a half dozen voted to leave.
BTW: The biggest topic of conversation in Italy was Donald Trump. Brexit never came up once.

The DJIA right now is at the same level it was on May 19th. The market goes up and the market goes down.
