they'd probably rather move to an office in frankfurt or dublin and keep doing business than stay based on unpredictable circumstances

The City is not the City because of the Single Market. Will some jobs relocate? No doubt, but our geography, language and legal system all contribute to us being an attractive country for financial services to base their operations.

That was when we were with the EU

countries like China could easily trade with the rest of the EU setting up shop with us, now they're laughing at us

as much as I'd like to hear good news about Brexit I'm just not seeing or finding anything that's solid enough to take faith in

No country of actual importance has rushed to make a trade agreement with you guys, some countries even reluctant to begin talks.

Of course some countries are reluctant to begin talks; they have no idea where we sit in relation to the single market. We've had politicians in different countries make good noises, but anybody who expected countries to be lining up on day one is deluded.

But why is everybody ignoring the fact that German industry is pushing hard for trade relations to remain normal? The French are also being co-operative. We basically have the only two countries in the Union which matter calming tensions instead of stoking them.

EDIT: It's also not clear how many jobs will relocate. Morgan Stanley has already denied shifting 2,000 jobs overseas, and in all likelihood we won't see much relocation until we know what how our services can be traded with the Continent.
