Remember Brexit? That was the event a couple of weeks back, when the Brits voted to leave the European Union (or at least those living outside London, Scotland and Northern Island so voted).
I found the most remarkable part of the whole event to be some of the exaggerated claims of doom, scaremongering and outright rants of some forecasters and commentators. The stockmarket took a quick fall, but has since recovered to levels above where it was before.
So much for the doom and gloom merchants.
Amongst the scaremongering, it was good to find one piece that was based on data, fact, and history. It is a bit long, but well worth the read. You can find it in our July 2016 Newsletter.
