    i can see where your coming from. we are in the unique situation of the pound falling so any us held investments will have risen. if he invests now the pound may recover or drop further.. thus a quick loss or a quick gain

    I dont believe there will be any major movements. Triggering article 50 means formal discussions will take place but it could be up to 2 years before anything happens. To me, the situation will remain the same as it is today - i.e we're all still in the dark

    I don't think it will make any difference when you invest. Any movement due to triggering of article 50 will have already been factored in.

    For it to make a difference you would need a significant number of investors to wake up on the 29th March and go "what? what? what? The UK is leaving the EU???? When did they vote to do that? Next you will be telling me that Trump is the US president.

    ... now or after next week when May invokes article 50?

    Those are two different questions.

    Article 50 will make no difference. We all know it's happening.

    Brexit itself is still years away, and no-one knows what it means yet.

    It means an extra £35... no, don't go there.
