I don't believe this!

Over the space of 15 minutes or so, I saw Trump's win chances jump from 15% to over 50% ... at this time he's actually the fav to win!

Clinton in big trouble, could this be Brexit all over again? :o

Nigel Farage said he has the same feeling Brexit gave him, looks like he could be right, ...... 1.13 out to 3.3 :o

Constructions companies, building a wall for 4000 miles is going to be quite a task. Short poll companies.

Do you think the odds are representative, or could it be people trying to cut losses and trying to close massive losing positions?

Can't quite believe it's happening again! Russians, guns, and bricklayers are gonna be the winners tonight! Again goes to show how disconnected half the world has become from the other half.

It's fascinating, globally we've reached a tipping point, almost a level of awareness that the public will no longer accept the current distribution of wealth or wider economic model. Unbelievable that the next US president is effectively a protest vote against the establishment. Trump is not a politician, which is obviously a key part of his appeal to the blue collar workers in the US. The parallels to brexit are obvious and similar narratives across Europe.

Globalisation in its current format is now being challenged as the transfer of manufacturing and services from the West to the East has effectively led to socio-economic decline in many parts of the western world. The flip is that the large corporations have become ever more wealthy increasing the divisive nature in the world typically reflected in politics and social unrest.

What does all this mean!? I guess technology and new understandings of the world around us will continue to drive opportunities and create new industries. Personally I think we will begin to question the value of the capitalist model in our journey through life, though that is an entirely different conversation!
