Exactly. Far too soon to understand the implications and get all over excited.
I can't quite understand the pre-negotiation panic. My missus works for Manc Uni and the departments have been told by the Chancellor that budgets will be cut because of Brexit... Seems a bit premature.

Expect big cuts to arts and social sciences or anything deemed worthless by crashing idiots like Andrea Leadsom

She's the Minister for the Environment now.
She'll be too busy slashing feed in tariffs and ignoring reports against fracking.

And pleasing the general public by bringing back fox hunting for the toffs to enjoy.

Given how much academic funding comes from the EU

The real bloodletting'll happen when Art 50 is invoked.
As for the FTSE being up - well, some companies are. Others are really suffering: the FTSE simply aggregates that, and so hides big differences. Add to that the fact that there will have been people looking for a bargain post-fall (and for shares priced in sterling, there's no shortage...), and it's unsurprising that the market had a bounce.
Whether it's more than a bounce is a different matter entirely.
