If it should happen, it sounds like a nice bear run on the markets to me same as August last year with Greece and same as January this year with the Chinese.

Probable black swan event?

I think so. There are second and third-order effects that we aren't even aware of yet. All we can do is assume that they aren't that stupid.

I'm going with my black swan event theory and lets make it a closer victory for the out votes 51:49

No matter - I'll take the GBP long term. A selloff is just an opportunity to buy UK assets.

my estimate is the "remain " crowd wins by a good margin. Remember, you dont ask a question if you dont know the answer and call a referendum only if you think you will win.

Any thoughts of Companies listed on LSE that might do well if they vote to remain?

This whole thing is an expensive joke(?) and complete waste of time. There never was and there never will be an "exit" for the UK. Too late for that: absolute sovereignty is s myth - the UK has during the last 100 or so years entered into some 30000(!!) plus treaties and agreements which have all involved a diminution of sovereignty in one way or another. "In" by 7- 8 percentage points - if not more.

Be this as it may - the vote lies with the people, and they might just find that the time is right to move out. This is the problem with democracy: everybody has the right to p*ss against the tree and after the tree dies there is no shadow, no oxygen, no ecology if you want to elaborate.

Common sense is sadly lacking! Think of in your own life when you stand down (voluntarily) from a committee/club/board. You think you might have influence later but your influence is zero...because..you are ....OUT!

Either the bookies have got it terribly wrong or it's going to be overwhelmingly REMAIN. William Hill odds currently 1/7 Remain and 9/2 Leave. That's like Secretariat v a three legged donkey.
