    Yes, Ted, some of us do, as you well know.

    If they cannot update the pricing models each day, how can we be sure the other numbers are correct? That is why more posters here are verifying with other services. That does not make much sense if one is paying M* for their premium services.

    Having a site with stupid numbers doesn't make a lot of sense even if you aren't paying for it!

    I copied this from the M* forums.

    As Chief Technology Officer at MORNINGSTAR INC, Greg Goff made $962,819 in total compensation. Of this total $350,000 was received as a salary, $300,000 was received as a bonus, $0 was received in stock options, $299,977 was awarded as stock and $12,842 came from other types of compensation. This information is according to proxy statements filed for the 2013 fiscal year.

    ( It would be interesting to find out which stocks were included as part of that almost $300k. Conflict? )

    You can bet that his stock & options are priced properly. On second thought, maybe not... perhaps just a little on the high side...
  • JohnChisum
    I was wondering which stocks he would own since M* does not have a stock. Index?

    Would owning individual stocks in that position pose a conflict ?
