Forbes has cornered the market on list-building, and one of their most interesting (and controversial) ratings is the top cities for singles.Using a wide range of data from sources such as Harris Interactive and the AOL CityGuide, Forbes ranked candidate cities on seven criteria: coolness, cost of solo living, culture, job growth, online dating, nightlife, and the proportion of singles. Subjective data reflects the opinions of those surveyed. For culture, Forbes compiled the number of high (art museums, for example) and low-brow (roller derby?) entertainments available.
The top ten cities (the italics are my reactions):
Closing Bell: Can't go up every day (BAC, HE, HPW, COMS, BRCD, WMT, AMD)
Wal-Mart grows profit and cash flow in Q3, but comps still ailing
Chasing Value: Ten stocks for 2010 -- Part 2
