It has come a long way since those dark days. It’s not perfect — no city is. However, it’s attracting attention from various places,

Despite record high share prices, the supply of stocks is dwindling due to bankruptcies, private ownership and fewer new listings.

There’s been a significant divergence in the way in which large-cap stocks have performed versus their small-to-mid cap counterparts. More poignantly, U.S. equities performance is increasingly tied to how larger, well-known companies are doing.
