Theresa May gives speech about how she'll handle Brexit, value of the pound immediately soars 2%. Sure is too bad it's still overall way lower than it was this time last year.

@mrmattimation I really need to make some connections with a currency exchange place because I could have made quite a few bucks if I had that back when the brexit thing happened and the pound crashed.
-
@nerthos Being backed by what it is, I doubt the economists would have let that last for long even if they legitimately wanted to "punish" the Brexit voters. I think it was mostly just the elite panicking about not getting their way.
-
@maiyannah Yeah, but it was a perfect moment to make some money buying pound and then selling a few months later, as the crash wouldn't last. I just didn't know any specific place to go do the transaction.
-
@nerthos The SMART people in the elite probably were doing exactly that.
-
@maiyannah Anyone smart outside the commonwealth who had some spare change and knew where to go was likely doing it. I'm just salty I lost potential profit due to lack of connections.
