Jon C. Ogg (http://blog.newscontrast.com/) provides research on-demand and analysis to brokers and traders and publishes his own blog, News Contrast (http://blog.newscontrast.com/). He founded a news service for active traders called that he sold in 2003 and developed the news and information desk for a firm that was subsequently acquired by E-Trade. He worked in Denmark as a US equities trader and portfolio manager for European institutional and individual investors in the mid-nineties, and ran the event-driven trading strategy team there. He started his career as a licensed broker selling fixed income products to large US investment management firms and mutual funds. Mr Ogg's articles are timely, succinct and packed with information. We think his news coverage of IPOs, secondaries and other market events are a valuable addition to Seeking Alpha.
