^^I am something of a consumer of financial news and I always find it interesting and somewhat ego-massaging how often CNBC has to go to SF-based reporters from its NY studios for breaking news and general coverage of financial news. To some extent, that's because Apple now has the largest market cap of any US company and at $6.79 trillion, the "information techology" sector, dominated by Silicon Valley, is just behind the financial sector ($6.95 trillion) as the second largest sector of the financial markets.
