The E.U. needs Britain more than Britain needs the E.U. The London Stock Exchange is one of the most powerful financial centers in the world. Frankfurt will never replace it.
Silicon Valley is like Wall Street in that it will fill and pursue market opportunities to their logical extremes.
New York City is the financial capital of the world. The Dodd-Frank Act, I think, is going to change that. It's going to send jobs to London and Geneva and Hong Kong and Sydney instead of keeping New York the financial center of the world.
All these financiers, all the little gnomes of Zürich and the other financial centres, about whom we keep on hearing.
I am proud of Edinburgh's status as a financial centre, but where is it on the index of global financial centres? Sixty-fourth. Below Hamilton, Casablanca and Mauritius. London, by contrast, is second only to New York. That's a link worth keeping.
I don't believe a Brexit will hurt the City of London as one of the largest financial centers in the world.
If you erased New York, I hate to say it, if you erased Frankfurt, even London, the world would not have changed.
It's obvious that St. Louis has certain advantages compared to other cities: namely, a concentration of financial services.
