4A. David Berman

I have been developing obscure crushes since I was 10. If you ask any friend or member of my family, they will tell you I have the oddest taste in men. These crushes usually come in cycles, where I will obsess over one for a while, before moving onto another. For the past few months, it has been David Berman.



David is a stock analyst/financial reporter for the Globe and Mail. Before that, he has written for both MoneySense and Canadian Business Magazine, as well as the Financial Post. Now, let it be known, I am horrible with money and finances. I actually don't know what the word "savings" means, and it's safe to say I have a very low understanding of the TSX. However, I am a girl who likes to stay in the know, and I feel that as I get older, the market, and economics as a whole, is something I should keep myself informed on.

I began falling upon David's posts on the Globe and Mail's market blog as the newspaper's website is my homepage. They're always informative, but very easy reads. Brief, straight to the point, and they keep me up-to-date. The guy has charisma. Besides this, it is in my opinion, that David Berman is a journalistic fox. Tall, slim, black square-framed glasses...I would be lying if I said a portion of my crush was not related to his business-attire good looks. He's also a graduate from U of T, and studied Journalism at Ryerson. No big deal.

So, David Berman, next time you're in my neck of the woods (that being our Nation's capital), we should hang out. I could use some journalism-related advice. I'll even let you call the meeting a "date". Talk to my people.
