Dow is down -650, and so it begins.

[CK_John]

This will not be good for Europe or us...

Trump will jump all over this.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

5. Who knows what his angle is? But if this can happen in June it can happen in November.

[HamiltonSwan]

32. Bingo. That' the only meaningful takeaway from this as far as US politics goes.

Unless Drumpf can somehow figure out a way to sell the American public that Hillary Clinton is responsible for Brexit it's a nothingburger politically for him, despite the breathless tone of the OP.

You'd be hard pressed to go out on any street in America and round up 10 people that A-Know what this means and B-would GAF about it if they did.

And frankly watching the UK's economy go belly up over the next couple of months doesn't seem like it's going to be much of a selling point for Drumpf either if he's going to try to make hay over it. It will be a bloodbath for the pound.

What that means is vigilance and hard work is needed. And lots of it. If the effort is there he will be beaten soundly. The end.

[LonePirate]

11. Trump is essentially challenging the status quo.

Anyone with half a brain knew Brexit would deal a severe blow to the markets and the global economy which means a severe blow to the US markets and economy. When there are significant economic problems at home, the party out of power almost always defeats the party in power on Election Day. In this case, Trump represents the party out of power while Hillary represents the party in power.

Trump knew Brexit could only help him so he backed it. Now Brexit has won and he's waiting for the long term impact or benefit for him.

[orwell]

35. Yeah...

...People will be so thrilled with a crashing currency and stock market that they will vote for it again!

[Beacool]

2. I think that the UK will regret it.

The pound sterling is already plummeting against the dollar. Unfortunately, it will also affect the EU and us. We live in a global economy and we are all interdependent.

[leftofcool]

3. Japan is down as well.

[Beacool]

8. Yes, all markets will be down until at least some time next week.

It's too soon to gauge the long term consequences of the split, but the UK is one of our biggest trade partners and it will probably adversely affect us.

[joshcryer]

4. Trump will try to use it...

...but will fail miserably, since he advocates isolationism.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

7. He seems to promote nationalism. Which is what won the vote in the UK.

[joshcryer]

10. It's also isolationism.

[elljay]

31. Won't matter to his supporters

their intellectual analysis stops with words than have more than four letters. If Trump says it's good, it's good.

[joshcryer]

37. Don't have to worry about his supporters.

Have to worry about people seeing Brexit as a good thing and something to aspire to for the US. Brexit is essentially Trumpism. Isolated, divided, nationalist, xenophobic wall building.

It won't be good for Britain and the American people aren't stupid enough to want it.

Trump's supporters will see whatever they want to see.

[forjusticethunders]

39. Nailed it.

Brexit is essentially Trumpism

[KingFlorez]

6. Considering that he is supported this, he doesn't have a leg to stand on

It's hard to see how he exploits something that he supports.

[jillan]

9. Shit. I was thinking of moving money out of the stock market earlier today.

And life got in the way.

Dang.

[joshcryer]

12. It'll bounce back. The actual leave is 2 years from now.

This will temper AMDs rise a bit though. The RX 480 is a winner.

Just some profit-taking.

[flamingdem]

24. translation?

what do those terms mean?

[joshcryer]

30. Sorry. UK will have two years to get things in order.

So the stock market impact will be minimal.

AMD is a graphics/computer chip maker who is bringing a new product on the market (RX 480). It's going sell really really well.

[flamingdem]

33. thanks! nt

[brentspeak]

13. That's the global elite realizing the jig is up

The beginning of the end of the 1%-driven rigged global economy. Which can only be a good thing.

Now it's time for the US to exit the middle-class destroying WTO.

[Hoyt]

15. Yeah, we'll be better off trading among ourselves, Nationalism and America First and similar BS.

[brentspeak]

18. Oh, yeah, no one would ever want to trade with the US unless we're in the WTO

[CountAllVotes]

27. +1

And so it begins indeed.

[B Calm]

14. Oh great, another excuse for the Wall Street Banksters to steal some of our money tomorrow.

[Dem2]

16. I am curious why you seem to enjoy telling us Trump will benefit

Some kind of angle on seeing Trump benefit or something because nobody really knows?

[CK_John]

21. IMO, Trump just went up to 60% probability to win in Nov. and it's not joyful.

It's just what it is.

[leftofcool]

22. Do you have a link for this information from someone valid?

[CK_John]

25. No, is just my opinion, IMO,IMO,IMO.

[Binkie The Clown]

17. Stocks go down, everyone panics. Stocks go up, everyone gets manic.

In the long run, nothing changes at all.

Just another round of hair-on-fire the-end-is-near prophets of doom doing what they do.

One thing you can be sure of. The Wall Street insiders will make a fortune off the amateurs that will over sell everything out of shear, ignorant panic.

In the end, the only issue is "Do we support democracy, or don't we?" Which ever way it goes, the people will have spoken.

[Kelvin Mace]

23. Problem is...

no matter who won, half the country is pissed off. You are right about stocks going up and down, but there is an exception: When stocks go down below a cerain point and derivatives of mass financial destruction begin to detonate, popping bubbles and exposing rotten investments. Then the whole economy can implode.

[Binkie The Clown]

26. That is a problem. On the bright side, precious metals are going through the roof tonight. n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

38. True,

but precious metals are almost always a bad long term investment. Volatile is their middle name.

[bigtree]

19. doom

...based on a stock market cycle?

[HamiltonSwan]

34. And Trump's up to a 60 percent win probability.

[msongs]

20. international banks and corporations will punish the UK for defying the new order nt

[Purveyor]

28. I thought it could be worse... The New World Order just suffered an epic earthquake.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

29. MORE: Dutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders demands EU referendum after Brexit

[SaschaHM]

36. I'm not sure if Trump can jump over this...

Something that he has publicly advocated for caused this. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Clinton campaign throw this in his face.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. The market is down 2%
