The Brexit noise is roiling markets around the world. Will the UK withdraw from the EU? Bloomberg put together its Watch Indicators. http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2016-brexit-watch/
Thanks, interesting take its funny because every official poll I see indicates a "remain" as the biggest percentage but all of the independent polls around the web done by various forums all indicate a huge percentage swing for the leave campaigns, most of which significant values such as 69% leave, 17% remain and the remaining undecided.
The Brexit polling is probably as poor/varied as the USA presidential elections. One has to look at whose interests are being gored, who is doing the polling and the sample size.
Heavy trading is expected prior to the Thursday vote, and Friday's annual rebalancing of FTSE Russell indexes. Let the games begin. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-stocks-weekahead-idUSKCN0Z325U
What a bloodbath. Did some buying, even a little profit taking on 50 shares of an old favorite. http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/Stock/BSPM
I guess I am stupid. Some companies with nothing to do with the UK are getting hammered. Why is $BBY <$30? $VZ is the only one in my portfolio that is up since Thursday. $AAPL, $DIS and $F sell product in the UK, and prices drop to ~$91.50, ~$94.10 and ~$12.00? Silly oversell. The $F dividend yield is now ~5%. If I had funds I'd load my Edge Sport, drive over to the broker and buy more $F. The good out of this nonsense? Many of my holding are about to pay dividends. The low prices just means more shares with the probability of price appreciation. Tip: $DHT has been hammered down to ~$5 today, putting the dividend yield at 20%. Analyst calls today project a $6 price target within a year. IMHO worth a flyer. HTH. YMMV.
