Is it just me, or does it sound crazy that the number of FT 500 companies per city went downhill compared to last year's list. NYC had 79 and now has 38. SF had 50 but is now 18. Yet, they still managed a strong total market cap.

It is just you. I say that because this thread is an incomplete list of the top 500 global companies. The thread you tried to link is just the top 500 American companies.

It's interesting that every single one of the entries for Houston are within or strongly related to the energy/petroleum industry. The city hasn't quite diversified its economy all that much yet if all the largest key players work roughly within the same field, but it also means if the energy industry continues or heightens its importance then Houston's going to continue to rocket.
Yeah my first reaction was "well I guess they still know where their bread is buttered."
