It depends. Are you a long term trader or the day to day type? I think the Day to day needs a much better grasp and understanding of the business. Long term stocks I think many people have. Heck, my landlord in Canada had a 200k worth portfolio.

On topic I think the people of England have had enough with the system and the fear of the **** happening in France has taken its toll. They have given up short term economic gains in order to socially sort the country. Strengthen the borders and all that. Right wing government will rule this decade. Mark my words.

I don't see where she said she would not pick her own investments. To execute the trade, you have to have a broker (personal or online), unless you are just trading among funds in a fund family.

Watching the pound tank against the dollar is astonishing!

Google @ 2am PST

1 US Dollar equals
0.72 British Pound

It's time to go to London and UK. I'm glad I booked for some hotels in England and will benefit from the tanking pound.

How does Brexit affect consumers? Is the world all going to stop buying cars, toothpaste, computers, clothes and everything else because of England and therefore stocks are going to crash? This whole thing is way overblown.
