From the writer:

"I am a currency trader, and I use this "space" to think about all the daily barrage of information that affects the currency markets. Dismally.com is a website that I use to collect, interpret, analyze, and disseminate data based on the U.S. economy and how the information relates specifically to the U.S. dollar. I find that by putting myself "out there" in this format, it makes me dig a little deeper into the data. My results have been a much more intensified understanding of the U.S. economy and the markets. There's nothing more embarrassing that being dead wrong in the eyes of the entire internet."
