Who is Dean?

"The best traders have a unique ability to decipher new information a fraction quicker than the average person, but information overflow can confuse their clear line of thinking. When I was trading, I always wanted a general overview—relevant information in snippets, with not too much detail—as a way to get up to speed each day. My goal with this blog is to provide this type of overview. I want it to be informative for the average trader, so I encourage suggestions and active discussions." (Dean Popplewell)
