Morningstar calls my home every other day. Waking children from naps and disturbing otherwise quiet time.
Cold calling sales solicitations like this is shameless, old style, abusive business practices.
If I were considering investing in Morningstar, I would consider these abusive sales practices as strong evidence of a company managing from an outdated perspective; thus, unworthy of my investment dollars.
Morning Star investment analysts. Actually, a very good firm, one of the best for mutual fund information, comparisons, past performances, etc. If you are not into investments, these calls could be aggravating. I use their website (free) for analysis and tracking of my personal investments. I get occassional calls, based on my activities with them.
