I never have been a big Orman fan. She is too focused on pop-psychology and feeling good about yourself and your money than about actual investment.

However, if I had $25 million and a big enough income stream from books and seminars to pay the bills, I would probably invest in municipal bonds too. The other side of this is if she does make any specific recommendations about what stocks or mutual funds to buy, she won't be accused of "pumping and dumping" if she has all of her money in bonds.

Ya know, I've wondered what that something was about her... she's gay.

I think her strategy is not bad for a 55 year old with $25Million. Doesn't make sense for a 25 year old with $10,000. Nobody thinks one strategy fits everyone.

I saw this lecture by her to college students on PBS. She was saying the most basic things, like max out your 401(k) matched contribution, and pay off higher interest rate debt first. All the students were nodding their heads and squinting their eyes like it was news to them. Fact is, it probably was. That is scary.

I tried to watch her once, but couldn't take her more than a few minutes. She seemed very condencending like she was talking to 5 year olds.

My favorite financial person...Dave Ramsey.

Her best piece of financial advice, "Pay off your credit card debts asap, cut them up. If you must keep one, pay it off in full when the bill arrives."

She needs to quit worrying about investing and spend the money

"'She scores very high on the personality index, but very low on the knowledge and understanding of the complex issues that face a lot of her audience. She's giving generic, simple solutions to people's most difficult problems, and judging from her portfolio, she's taking them on a path she really hasn't traveled herself.'"

'Nuff said.
