Well yes, it makes 500 points worth of difference, but I think the point was that while the FTSE100 is now pretty much at pre-brexit levels, the 250 isn't, and even with that climb today it's still got a way to go.
Look. All I said was the FTSE100 and 250 were steaming ahead today, which according to any sane definition, they have done, but Mimi's "hurrah!" post actually showed the wrong graph and data, which we've now sorted out, yeah? That's really all that needs to be said.
However, you're quite right, the FTSE100 is at pre-brexit levels (in fact the best it has been pretty much for a year, as I've said), and as you'll recall, I did specifically cite the FTSE100 in my original post. Again all as I've said earlier.
In terms of the FTSE250, I can't be arsed pissing around with more graphs, use Google if you want to check, but basically this closed 600 points *higher* than it was in only February this year, and it's never been above its 16000+ close levels today at pretty much any time before 2015. So y'know, as UK stock crashes go, this one's a real damp squib at the moment, which makes me GLAD, notwithstanding the fact I hate Brexit. This could change; you might be jumping on my head tomorrow as the arse drops out of the market again, but I'm not saying it will or it won't, merely that (a) I find it bloody surprising and (b) it's a good thing.
We done?
