thank you all for your opinions, time is slowly running out.

the Queen has spoken the first time since the beginning of the referendum.

the queenmother was from Scottland

Polls from various sources

I don't see how the Yes could win.
Scared sh*tless anyway !

Expected results to land between 05:30 and 06:00 GMT on morning of the 19th... I'd bet it will hit earlier than that ofc, the Asian session will be the one to watch for the price reaction (I guess the US will then follow suit to whichever direction later). I'll be staying up late / early then to be the early bird

Im hoping for a poll to arrive putting the YES camp ahead on Thrs at some stage causing a nice sell off... if so Ill aim to buy in around 1.613 if poss... then hoping for a NO vote to be confirmed some time early Friday morning for a surge up


IMHO a 51% majority from the population is not enough to either go through the hassle of devolving or leaving things as they are now. If you have a 50/50 split on anything you look to compromise to make both sides equally unhappy - not go with the slight majority! Asking for trouble that is. If you want independence surely a portioned majority (like minimum of) 65% would be desirable? IMHO I think even 65% is a bear min for such a thing.

I wonder how this will affect the Catalunya movement (and subsequently the Euro at some stage), I know they are watching very closely and they have a huge 'YES' vote majority - unlike Scotland... and Spain wont even allow them to vote on it I hear (obviously as they know the answer already)!

Last week:


You dont see that kind of majority in Scotland!
Then there's the Basque region not far behind!

Its a NO alright.. I think the Scots dived in a bit too early without really assessing the more important things like currency and economy. Leaning on the GBP post independence is no sovereignty at all. I think this whole manufactured crisis is a political game for political gains rather than anything to do with the average Scotsman.

On another note, a Yes vote would have had far reaching consequences to the point of putting Cameron's govt. in jeopardy and would give him a less bargaining power with Brussels. All said and done, personally i'm a bit disappointed. The Scots had a chance to change the game, but they let it go.

Technically speaking, GBPUSD just finished a massive divergence correction at 1.61411, also completing 38.2% correction. Its all back to the GBP bull wagon!

I'm playing the same game.. Picking up in bits and pieces and expecting to buy on some 'Yes' exit/opinion news

I think it will be no for separation .although there is a small chance that they will do vote with yes but things looks like no for me
all have a nice day

Yes to independent Scotland.
