• Q: So I was watching Maria Bartiromo's Google show last night (which wasnt good but
  thats for another post)
  
  I started thinking why is Californias economy so screwed up? That state has
  Google, Cisco, Ebay, etc. Silicon Valley with all the world leading tech
  companies bring in revenue for the state and they have so many issues? Whats
  going on in that state? Why are they so messed up when it comes to the balance
  sheet?

• A: I worked in high tech in CA for 16 years. One industry cannot carry an entire state just
  like one industry cannot carry the entire country. The salaries are high in tech to combat
  the outrageous home prices and real estate taxes. Other industries pay decent but not
  nearly as well. Income taxes are nearly equivalent to federal taxes. Many deductions are
  not allowed. However, the state has so many entitlement programs that apply to all comers,
  regardless of citizenship. Gangs are a huge problem and the cost of combating gangs,
  drugs, and paying out to illegal workers and educating (which amounts to mostly trying to
  keep order in the classroom with bilingual children who cannot understand the English
  courses). The state spends so much on border patrol rather than green cards, and the
  number of illegals that drain the system without paying taxes and sending the US dollar
  back to their countries is a huge dent in the state budget. Policing areas and fighting
  drugs is an ongoing battle that takes time and $$ manpower. Last stat I heard was 800
  separate id'd gangs in LA area alone. Over 300 in Monterey Peninsula. Some high salaries
  that are highly taxed seems to put money into state coffers. Entitlement programs and
  constant need to put up infrastructure to support the wave of people who come into the
  state continually, along with the expenses to protect the population and pay for the
  highly populated prison system drain hits the coffers. Like many states, there are insane
  pork barrel programs to repay political debts. It is a beautiful state and lovely to live
  in, but how many times have you watched fires roaring North of LA or heard of seismic
  activity losing homes, highways, lives? It takes $$$ to pay employees to clean up. DMV is
  overwhelmed, without an appointment it takes hours to get a human. There are too many
  people not paying into a system that provides costly benefits. There are a high number of
  natural disasters. Like all onions, this has many layers. I am not unopposed to
  immigration, should it sound that way. I am opposed to the way it is managed and the
  impact it creates. I am opposed to building on the San Andreas fault. Tax dollars are
  often earmarked but then put into a General Fund, draining the areas where they are
  needed, like schools. There are many common sense ideas but few with the political stomach
  to propose or embrace them. more

• Q: so lets say I own the stock STAR. I want some protection in the form of puts.
  How do I do it? I have lvl 1 options. I bought it STAR @ 24.70, 84 shares.
  =2000$
  
  So how many puts would I need to protect myself. Is it worth protection with
  this amount in?

• A: You could buy one 25 strike put. However, that could be too pricey. For 84 shares of a
  stock, using a stop order is better than playing options. more
