It all makes sense now

I get confused rather easily. I have this job, you know, and it's on the 26th floor. So I ride the elevator alot, and there's a little TV in the elevator that gives short news updates, usually of the humorous "40-pound cat" variety.
It also has financial information, and the stories almost always have a short quote from a guy at some outfit called Morningstar. And I always think to myself, why are they asking people who make fake-meat breakfast burritos for financial advice?
Of course they aren't asking breakfast burrito people about financial advice, just like I wouldn't ask a financial adviser about breakfast burritos. It turns out, there is a financial analysis company also called Morningstar.
I don't know why somebody would give his company such a name, especially when there is already one enterprise with what is basically the same name. But who am I to judge? The Morningstar guy is loaded - but he probably gets sick of people calling him about tofurkey around Thanksgiving time.
