Is Cowen the next bulge bracket bank?

Look, I am not sucking up to them, but we can all agree they have been on a hot streak. I know some of you are going to come back with "what about Stifel/Cantor/Piper?" but they have a ways to go to reach Cowen. 

Thoughts?

This is a clown post. Piper mops the floor with Cowen. Cowen at its best is a healthcare ECM shop. Piper's medtech group undoubtedly competes with BB's, and their FIGs group is exceptional as well.

Stifel and Cantor don't even belong in the same bucket.
