The local options list

By my count, 11 companies in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties are among the 78 that have come under scrutiny for questionable granting of stock options. The list, as compiled by the WSJ, includes companies that have disclosed government probes, misdated options, restatements and/or executive departures. Some companies have announced internal probes. You can find all 78 on WSJ.com. Here are the locals:

Activision - Santa Monica
Broadcom - Irvine
Ceradyne - Costa Mesa
Cheesecake Factory -Calabasas Hills
Computer Sciences - El Segundo
Corinthian Colleges - Santa Ana
Meade Instruments - Irvine
Quest Software - Aliso Viejo
Semtech - Camarillo
THQ - Agoura Hills
Vitesse - Camarillo
