Now the media is reporting it like it's fact and they're tanking the economy over there because everyone is trying to get out
This creates an opportunity for shareholders to move in and buy up the low value stock before it stabilizes.
Now I'm not too sure here, but if I wanted to make money by destabilizing an economy, I'd do what they just did.
And then when things finally stabilize and they vote to stay in, have everyone pull their money out, destabilizing it once again.
In the same way that the entire election process is an opinion poll. Votes are not legally binding in the US, either. If they wanted to, the delegates could vote for whoever they wanted regardless of the popular vote, of which the results are more of a "strong suggestion" to them than anything. As that second article said, it would be career suicide to go directly against the popular vote, though.
