I voted leave yesterday.
I took the time to research as much as I could on both sides, and have extensive knowledge of European markets via my work. For me, it boiled down to my attitude to risk, having the option to maintain the status quo or take a chance things might get significantly better, after the short term drops.
My analysis of the factors meant that I voted with my own applied logic. The FTSE has already bounced back slightly by close of play today, and I don't see things being changed a great deal in the future. The UK is a large trading partner with the EU bloc, and I believe that agreements will happen before the UK fully leaves, which may not be for another 2 years. Germany and France, the two largest economies in the EU, would lose large amounts by shunning trade, and their influence will, despite what is said, mean there are some sort of negotiations in place. The alternative is that Brexit acts as a catalyst for other nations, and the EU then needs to adapt or perish.
I think, although there's little evidence to prove the theory given the anonymity of voting, that there were more young voters for leave than believed. I'm still in my 20's myself, but there's a simple reason why, just like the General Election 2015, people on the right side of the political spectrum don't speak up in public. We can be hounded for our views, even if we had the greatest evidence ever. It'd only be dismissed as "racist scum". To prove that point, I found myself near to a political rally by the Labour party whilst in Cardiff about 8 years ago, there were speakers going on about how the evil Tories were going to raise the tuition fees to £9000. Because of where I worked, I knew that actually it was something the Labour party would be doing if reelected, a rare policy that both sides agreed on. I could've easily produced all the meeting minutes discussing it, because my career gave me that access to their ministers. I remember muttering, albeit loudly "That's not true..", and was then physically attacked by people in the crowd. The people out protesting this in the streets tonight are protesting a democratic decision, and it sickens me. People are elected, and decisions made, based on the voice of the people. Just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean you should behave in such a manner.
