Brexit

If I'm reading the tea leaves of this article correctly, the Tories are likely to get destroyed in the next election. Especially if Scotland has a referendum to leave the UK. Because that will give the Labor-dominated regions of the rest of the UK stronger. And it seems that the blame for this development rests squarely on Cameron.

REVEALED: As Brussels chief rules out any reform, here are seven EU promises Cameron broke
BRUSSELS chief Jean-Claude Juncker caused a huge stir this afternoon when he blew a hole in David Cameron's EU argument by categorically ruling out further reform of the bloc.

P.S. Just was chatting with an seemingly educated pro-Remain Englander here at Bally's poker room (and dumping off stacks like a wealthy super donk), and he thinks the Tories will still remain in power, as the Brexit sentiments were split across the two major parties. But, he could have just expressed his own desire for it given that he doesn't strike me as Labor-share-the-wealth type. At least away from the table. (Thank you, good sir, for trying to bluff me off that last pot with a monster overbet that smelled of desparation.)

Jean-Claude Juncker, big jazzfunker.

Just lol.

I want fins to selloff more plz.

The desk isn't trading cash at all only derivs. Any bids being hit on cash is just lol for the seller.

Equities look way expensive from here.

I'm sitting here staring at my joke of a red "make America great again" hat and truely hope that americans aren't this stupid come Nov.

Point in case, Jewdonk is for trump... the people who want something like this have 0 to lose and are basically buying a very bad lottery ticket. Fucking jokes.

You see Greenspan on CNBC right now?

He IS worried. The whole precariat thing.

Just asked about his thoughts on Trumps chances. He took a pass.

He says economy is fucked.... Kinda interesting

"brexit isn't the end"

"Worst period I recall since being in public service"

You know who is going to have a radio marathon? Peter Schiff, lol.

There is a lot of truth to this. But you also have the other side (mostly naive liberal college students) that also want a revolution without having a clue how the real world works. They have never had a hard day in their lives yet complain about how bad it all is.

I dont get why both sides need a revolution. Life is pretty fucking good in the USA for most people compared to the rest of the world. We need a balance of both, and this idea that going extreme one way whether Right or Left is foolish.

If I was Putin, I would wake up today, stretch, have a cup of strong coffee, and issue the orders to begin the wholesale reclamation of Ukraine. Odds of EU delivering a well coordinated, unified response to Soviet aggression in Ukraine right now are nill.

C$, the young adults in the US are, on average, measurably worse off re opportunities versus any generation since the Great Depression. And their comparables aren't folks their age in other countries. They are the older generations in the US. As such, their desire for political 'revolution' is a reasonable reaction to their perceived situation even if they are not informed enough to know what would be reasonable measures to address their concerns.

If you think this is just liberal college kids feeling their oats you are missing the whole phenomenon.

This is an angry middle class. Clearly it is global. The recent Bilderberg meeting while some tinfoil hat lulz grows more interesting.

Some prospered with the QE and others are traveling from their Walmart job during the day to their cleaning job at night and recalling the great parties they had during their years at state college.

A lot of us understood the bubble nature of our times and why. But I totally missed until a month or two ago the whole precariat thing and how real it is. The U.K. just removes all doubt.

Further Chinese devaluation? Then on and on.

Sell in May and go away? Isn't that in your employment contract Handicap?

Not with the more likely prospect of Hillary sitting in the big chair of the Oval Office come January. Because she would auto-reverse Obama's standoffish policy getting directly involved in Ukraine's defense if Russia pushed hard into eastern Ukraine.

And because Obama wouldn't want to interfere with Hillary developing her own foreign policy brand for the upcoming general election, he would likely play a mediator-type roll to her likely bellicose calls for standing up to Russia on that matter. Which most of the anti-Trump GOPers would fully get on board with.

The battle now is Brexit vs Yellen and no rate hike and more bubble.

This is a traders paradise.

They keep replaying the Greenspan quote. This will be a signature quote for this event.

How are you comparing our current state to the great depression??? Again keep regurgitating your google nonsense somewhere else. You literally are clueless, like literally.

I mean... I have forced people to cut longs since may given the historical trend of the summer selloff... I am on my 3rd venti and I only paid for my first one. Normally we're hated because we risk manage on the tail end, today we're loved. Go figure.

I think this vote heads us into a possible 2nd recession( hate using that word but eh), however if trump is elected I can guarantee we go into one.

I was thinking about your and fellow workers emergency ride to work this morning.

"I see a line of cars and they're all painted black"


One of my favorite lyrics of all time

Putin won't let this opportunity pass. The military buildup has been constantly happening since 2014 / Crimea. NATO has been sending troops as a deterrent ever since but Putin has sent 10x as many and is ready to go.

That might actually re-stabilize the EU. Nothing like a common enemy to bring countries together.

Trading is thin, as a MM, can't risk mass quoting.

I am more curious how blood bathed Pooh got. If he traded for any sort of size, his losses are in the 100's of Ks. My guess he won't even know how to hedge out of position without doubling down, lol...

I hope that you are *not* as bad at reading comprehension at your job as you when reading my comments here. Because I said "since the Great Depression", *not* "similar to during" it. Because the current generation of 20-somethings are, on average, staying/living with the parents longer than any generation since the GD. It started with the Great Recession, and hasn't recovered for them as much as those older with more experience.

P.S. I'll let you google that info on your own since you have time away from your job to so politely chit chat here with me.

BRITISH LOSE RIGHT TO CLAIM THAT AMERICANS ARE DUMBER

LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—Across the United Kingdom on Friday, Britons mourned their long-cherished right to claim that Americans were significantly dumber than they are.

Luxuriating in the superiority of their intellect over Americans’ has long been a favorite pastime in Britain, surpassing in popularity such games as cricket, darts, and snooker.

But, according to Alistair Dorrinson, a pub owner in North London, British voters have done irreparable damage to the “most enjoyable sport this nation has ever known: namely, treating Americans like idiots.”

“When our countrymen cast their votes yesterday, they didn’t realize they were destroying the most precious leisure activity this nation has ever known,” he said. “Wankers.”

In the face of this startling display of national idiocy, Dorrinson still mustered some of the resilience for which the British people are known. “This is a dark day,” he said. “But I hold out hope that, come November, Americans could become dumber than us once more.”

Russia is in the same financial boat. There could be a bit if a show down but things havent really changed, in that, reactions to a major military action would dwarf any thought of the current price of tea.
