The stock market continues to prove itself as one of the best places for people to grow their wealth. With the markets up strongly this year, the total market capitalization -- that is, the total market value of companies' shares -- of the U.S. stock market is $27.5 trillion at recent prices. That's a tremendous amount of wealth, with a significant portion of it held in regular folks' retirement accounts.
Surprisingly enough, a huge portion of that value is derived from a very small group of companies. Of the thousands of publicly traded companies operating today, the 30 largest ones are worth almost $10 trillion -- about one-third of the entire market's value.
