Can BREXIT be a disaster capitalism money maker for the rich?

The disaster is BREXIT passing and possibly being retracted. The capitalism comes from the fact that money can be made picking which stocks will go down or up after passage. Big big money.

Already noted is that George Soros has made money picking the right stock changes. So, picking on the left wing siding rich fella distracts us from realizing there are probably others. Others who have a hand in promoting BREXIT and now move to undo it in order to make money on both moves. George is not dumb. This whole game is being played out in the open.

The DU posts surrounding BREXIT tend to be large and well formed and presented with a certain certitude and emotional pull. So, are the posts that now talk about how awful the change is leading to the idea that it should be changed back.

A further chance to make more money.

The talk to take back the BREXIT is in part that racism and xenophobia are the real reasons it passed. Democrats do not like racism and xenophobia. So, this keeps Democrats from looking for a different reason why BREXIT might be re-addressed.

It could also be a preliminary test drive for Trump winning an election causing more stock moves and more chances at making money off that disaster.
