I love morningstar.com

It's such a Zen place, and the staff there exudes a satisfyingly geeky excitement about research. I can just see all those analysts hopping up and down excitedly in their chairs as they come across a cool new fund scenario or a way to "teach" their readers about some smart financial move. I admire the way they advocate for a long-term, Taoist approach towards money and investing. Basically, they try to teach people to empower themselves without patronizing them. That's not easy to do. They even try to encourage people to make their own decisions while learning to self-sooth when things get rough. Like in this 1-page article here, for example:

They're like the DIY gamer-gurus of money.

vgnwtch found this cool article...so Suze Orman is not only spi

...gay.

I really didn't think I could like her any more: she straightforward, she's blunt, she's into empowering people and money is simply the modality in which she works. She sneaks spirituality into all of her books in a very satisfying way. But no...she's also gay.

And people sometimes scoff at her because she is spiritual.

OK, I'm just doomed to like her.
