Orman is nothing if not a contradictory personality — someone who travels with her own healthful, organic food but who also rewards herself, after a day in which she has sold $1 million worth of her books or financial-planning kits on QVC, with a binge at Taco Bell. Karen Fonner, who works with Orman at QVC, recalls that at the end of a workday about eight years ago Orman told her that she craved a hot dog. Fonner took her to a hot-dog stand and watched — everyone in the vicinity watched — as Orman devoured six hot dogs.

too bad she doesn’t like the real thing
Suze, no matter how many hotdogs you devour you will always be a dyke.
If she wasn’t gay I would say she’s a “special friend of Angelo”…
hot dog = penis
You people are such cretins. No wonder you’er having such trouble succeeding. Its 2009. WTF cares if she’s a dyke?
wtf? has she been reading my diary?

Thanks, 1 & 2 had me confused.
Ms. Fonner went on to note “she’s the first woman I’ve seen eat the hot dog, then fuck the bun”.
jeez i hate the times we live in. *that* squallering idiot dyke trots out what passes for financial wisdom nowdays??? and people LISTEN to her bullshit?? tchah!
we didn’t have HD or internet porn back in the stone age, but we DID have andrew tobias. he’s funnier, a better writer, and offers **much better** money advice than orman ever could. (it turns out he’s gay, too, so he’s even got that down better than orman.)
now she’s craving fish tacos.
@ FUN ftw
“after six hot dogs and a run on Taco Bell Ms. Orman proceeded to destroy the nearest port-a-potty in sight, filling it to the brim and rendering it useless to all other QVC employees”
She’s a highly enterprising phony, who figured out a way to capitalize on women’s financial ignorance. And she likes the trout.
@8 — comment of the year so far
9 Difference between now and when Tobias wrote is the breadth of the investor class. Everyone owns stocks and bonds now (esp through 401k); in Tobias’ time it was an upper middle class thing. (BTW: he throws great parties at his place in Fire Island Pines). Suze’s advice is not bad for the masses. She preaches thrift, tax smarts, diversification, minimizing fees. Totally appropriate for her target audience.
She’s a character for sure….
but she’s also richer than all of us scrubs commenting here right now =/.
15 here again. Compare Suze with Cramer. And put aside the personalities. Both have the same target audience, but his advice is damaging hers very useful.
@16- nope
@14 ftw!
“Layoff me I’m starving”
I picture her with a landing strip
@8 Ah yes, bunnilingus.
@18
if your taking the time to comment in DB and your that rich you’re worse than all of us.
@23- why? I enjoy the site (and clearly you do too).

18/24 is Cliff Asness. Btw Cliff, props on the open letter to Obama.
@18
yes I do enjoy DB but I’m a poor low level analyst trying not to fall asleep as Friday ends. I guess if you enjoy slumming it in DB more power to you. Probably good you can enjoy free things in life.
Thanks for props on the letter, but alas I am not Asness.
@16- the commenters are not representative of the readership. it’s not too hard to put together the clues of the people who reads db from the upper echelons of finance.
You can only eat so much fish.

@17 – A bunch of comments, and yours is the only useful one.
And so true. Suze gives good advice, generally “You dipsh*t, stop wasting your money and plan for the future”.
Cramer offers gems such as “Lenny Dykstra is one of four or five people that I’d listen to for stock advice.”
I came here to make allusions to the phallic symbol that is a hot dog, but I see the first few commenters already took care of that. Goodbye.
@31 – Suze? Did you really eat hot dogs, or stay true to sushi? Enquiring minds want to know. And why is your face always shiney?

Eight years ago Bess? This is the best you got? You call yourself a journalist? Come on now!!
Want to have dinner Sunday night? Leave the pantys off.
Fondly,
Suzy
dumb shit @36- did you notice bess is merely quoting from the article? oh, I guess not. because you’re an idiot.
her advice is shit…she’s the broke d-bag’s version of Dave Ramsey.
nevermind
@13, That’s what I said.
Tuna. On Toast.
Is that a cunt hair between her teeth?
I hear she was obsessed with hottie red-head Liz Claman when Liz was at CNBC. But then again, wouldn’t the rest of us be too.
@43 My entire trading floor is obsessed with La Liz. We’d pay to see Suze hit that red head.
Liz has nothing on Erin Burnett. Especially since she increased the size of her fun bags.
I dream about Suzy coming into my bedroom in her leather dominatrix getup. Dragging along the gimp. I am also bipolar.

Erin Burnett is the future of NBC!
Maria Bartiromo is not.
