I was chatting with a friend of mine this week about all of the issues going on around the world. I do that a lot. I like to learn how other people think. Gathering information and broad perspectives is a valuable tool. Our home state almost always comes up in conversation. California has become a bit of a lightning rod of late. People seem to either love it or hate it. Realistically, it’s kind of always been that way. I’m not going to get into the politics of California. That’s not my role. I have zero interest in that. But as a 5th generation Californian and an investment professional, I take pride in the significance of the Golden State.
