Scotland - if England becomes the loser economically in this
move, yeah, I'd want to cut myself loose of the man who's trying to
walk on water with cement shoes. Added to the fact that there's
still a very strong strain of nationalism in Scotland. As for
Britain, maybe this is a 'kamakzi' move - why go broke slowly when
you can get it over with quickly.
It's painful to see our op. network stocks seeming to be among
the weakest sectors - INFN, NOK etc. down 8% or so. I'm certainly
not selling, but I wish I knew whether this is overdone and one
might accumulate at these prices, looking back later and being glad
you did. But I have no visibiliy on how impactful this is on
infrastructure build-out, worldwide. I can't even see clearly
whether this is a 1987 event where there's a relatively quick
recovery, of whether this gets worse as the 'downstream threats'
come online - e.g., other countries vote to leave or stay in the
EU, Britain has to renegotiate all its trade deals (which I saw
might take from now until 2020), etc. The limit on visibility and
the amount of $ the op. net. stocks are losing is quite
daunting.
At times, the market has seemed to want a reason to end this 8
year bull market. If so, they've certainly got it.
Anyone buying more op. net. stocks, or contemplating it?
