I am wondering why there are so many technology companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook in California because California is a state with a huge government and a lot of regulations and taxes.

What is your opinion on the 10-Year Treasury short term (12 months+-). I’m currently refinancing an apartment building and the lender seemed to drag their feet and didn’t lock-in my rate. I’m hesitant to follow through now and I’m wondering if I should just wait.

I have gone all in with gold and mostly silver over the last two years. As I previously lost a lot in the stock market in 2008. Now my purchase in gold and silver is worth 50% of what I paid. Do I have any chance of my metals going back to the price of two years ago? Is it time to buy more or bail?

Precious metals, historically speaking, seem to top out 5-6 years after the DOW bottoms out. If the strategy is to get back in equities at the bottom or near the bottom you have to know where the bottom is. So should we be selling our metal before the top? What should the spot price be for gold and silver to get out and enter stock trading?

There are great oil and gas reserves in the US. Do you think these reserves can be used to pay down the US debt?
