Noteible points would be ...

The US (£122bn in 2013) is the largest commercial
insurance market in the world, but premiums are
dispersed across states, with the largest being California
(£15.3bn) and New York (£10.8bn)

London does 30 billion.

And that's just commercial insurance.

Why are you so stuck upon insurance, which only does billions in business as opposed to trillions for the stock market.

How much business does the UK do, not just London. I was talking about countries, but you keep bringing up cities. Compare apples to apples. London is the only financial center in the UK, so it does not really matter that London alone does £30 billion in commercial insurance business a year. Where else in the UK do they do as much business in commercial insurance as they do in London? The UK actually is not apples to apples as it is an amalgamation of 4 countries (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) but I'll let that slide. Does the UK conduct more than £122 billion in insurance business?

I prefer to travel to places with decent weather, are not too congested with people and/or are pretty. If I have everything I need, why go someplace not as nice. The UK has 5 times less people than the US but is 40 times smaller. That is a congestion on a scale that I don't want to deal with.

you've never travelled, that's why i hit a nerve then :LOL::LOL::LOL:

That is pretty defective brain you have there. It would be an extremely faulty deduction on your part to think that I have never travelled from what I said, especially after I said I travel to places with good weather. Is it that you cannot read or maybe it is your lack of education. I have been many places, none of them quite as nice as where I live.

It truly seems I have struck a nerve with you even more about the UK being a crowded rock with gloomy weather.

No, you said...



Which is incorrect
Click to expand...

It is correct as London doing £30 billion in commercial insurance does not make it the largest the financial center. You still haven't posted any figures besides those in insurance. Is that the only type of business that you think London does? There are no other financial centers in the UK. London is it for the UK basically. What London achieves financially represents the UK. How much does the UK do in all financial markets? It seems you are missing the point. Billions in insurance is a few tenths of a percent compared to other markets like equities. It doesn't make or break a financial center.

You making a different argument. I'm arguing that London is one of the financial centers of the world. You saying the US does more transactions. Which of course it does because its populations is however many hundred million. But that does not make the entire US a finanical centre. Could i go to Alaska and claim i'm in one of the financial centers of the world?


Its well off the point

But if you not interested in insurance, we can talk about FOREX

London increases lead in foreign exchange trading as global turnover drops 7%

Published 29/10/2014
Our latest figures show that the UK accounted for 37% of global foreign exchange trading in October 2012. TheCityUK estimates are based on individual surveys of foreign exchange activity also released today by central banks in the UK, US, Japan, Australia, Canada and Singapore.

The UK’s share of global foreign exchange trading was up slightly compared to the previous year, and well ahead of the US (17% down from over 19% a year earlier), Japan and Singapore (with 6% each). London accounted for the bulk of the UK’s daily turnover averaging $1,919bn in October 2012.

We estimate that average daily global turnover in traditional foreign exchange market transactions (spot transactions, outright forwards and FX swaps) totalled $4.4 trillion in October 2012, down 7% on on the previous year. Despite the fall over the past year the volume of foreign exchange trading is on a long term upward trend, a result of the growing importance of foreign exchange as an asset class, the proliferation of electronic trading platforms which is making it easier to access this market, and an increase in global fund management assets.

Chris Cummings, Chief Executive of TheCityUK said “Twice as many US dollars are traded on the foreign exchange market in the UK than in the US, and more than twice as many euros are traded in the UK than in all the euro-area countries combined.

Foreign exchange is the most traded financial market in the world and today’s figures show that London is capturing a growing share of this market. The UK’s strong international position is a result of trading generated by prime brokerage, investment banking and hedge funds, three areas of activity that are important to London’s position as a global financial centre.“

If I live in the UK, I don't need to live in London to have access to a financial center. Living anywhere in the US give me access to the largest financial center as a whole. I can trade in onechicago, Boston stock exchange, nyse, nasdaq there are over 20 exchanges. Forex is decentralised and as such doesn't matter how much is traded in London. Since London is the only financial center in the UK, the £30 billion represents the UK, which is less than the US. You have access to entire country not just the city you live in.

No, London is the financial centre of Europe and the UK. It does business globally. Europe is a bigger market than US, so just deal with it !

You are totally blending concepts. Every financial center does business globally, what a throw away statement. The UK even has a smaller economy than Germany and the UK is four countries. Since finance is one sector of an economy and the UK economy is about half of Germany's, then how could your statement be valid. It is neither the biggest in Europe or North America.

Your argument about population doesn't hold water. The US has 4.96 times as many people as the UK but the US economy is 6.12 times bigger. The US economy is still 23% bigger when scaled down to the size of the UK. If you do not count the 12 million illegals that do not pay taxes or contribute to the economy, then it's more like 28%.

make 29.36% less money
be 82.95% less likely to be in prison
consume 67.68% less oil
spend 58.99% less money on health care
use 58.38% less electricity

Why would I worry about prison? There are white collar prisons that let you play tennis.

Why do I care about consuming less oil? It is cheap enough. Although, southern California is the most expensive place to buy "petrol" in the country at $4.00/gallon or £0.67/liter.

My health care is $200/month, so what!

Why do I care about using less electricity. My electricity bill is about £40 at today's exchange rate.

I have all the free time I need. I work whetever there is an internet connection, so basically anywhere. I only have to work from 6 am to 1 pm.

There has been 8 murders in the last 30 years where I live.

I don't really care. I am more in line with fiscal Republicans and Tories. There is very low disparity where I live and also the cities around me.

I don't care about that either.

I am self-employed, so I don't care. The unemployment rate in London is 7.5% and 6.6% in Great Britain. The unemployment rate in the US is 5.5% for 2015-06-01. The unemployment rate in Orange County, California is 4.1% and 3.4% in Newport Beach, California.

Why should I care about the things he posted? Do you want a metal for using electricity?

Why? You clearly wanted to compare nations, not cities or towns.

How many murders in the USA in the last 30 years?
