    The pound is down 12.64 percent now. It's falling and at a rapid rate. I wouldn't be surprised if it's down 18 percent when all the votes are finally complete. If Vargas wasn't happy with his purse then he'll be pissed now because he'd have lost tens of thousands of dollars if his purse was in GBP.

        Edit; I ask because if it's down, I need to make some investments. XE.com has it up.

          Will it correct itself? If so, how long will it take?

            No one knows with certainty but I'd venture a couple of months, maybe sooner.

            Nothing changes in Britain for at least 2 years, maybe longer as it takes time to exit the EU. In that time, we'll be trading as usual under the same rules.

                  Looks like it's bounced back a percentage or so. Seems like it might stabilize. It's tough to say how long it will take, possibly never. The market strongly reacts to speculation, so if some big banker sneezes it might negatively affect it lol.

                    Another question. What about consumer spending? Will it tighten up or will people still spend on sporting events like boxing?
