Thanks for the note. We obviously can't please everyone (!), but we do feel Morningstar offers great career opportunities for equity analysts. We have the largest global staff of independent equity research analysts in the world, with room for internal advancement, geographical re-location opportunities, and ongoing training support. In terms of market position, we're seeing excellent growth in both buy-side and advisor/intermediary business. As the sell-side has downsized and the buyside faces incredible cost pressures due to the shift to passive, firms are increasingly looking to Morningstar to access our independent, in-depth research.
