What the government do over the next 6 months will determine the ability of what large companies can achieve over the next 10 yrs.What we are seeing now is a sharp intake of breath waiting for the government to make it's move.

They shouldn't bother about 5-10 years they should just carry on as they are. Regarding the EU nothing has changed and won't until we start negotiations. Trading still continues as it has always done. We are still full members until we decide otherwise.

It was where enough people are made to believe that something will either go up or down that makes it happen. A self-fulfilling prophecy. By predicting something, you make it happen.

The same thing they would do regardless of whether we voted to leave or remain in the EU or if there had never been a referendum on the EU. Buy and sell as normal. Can't blame that on Brexit.
