"News Moves Markets: Here’s How Ian Cooper Trades It First”
Tuesday, July 15th at 1:00PM ET
In today’s markets, news events trigger massive stock moves – often within minutes of breaking.
But here’s the challenge:
By the time most traders react... it’s already too late.
That’s where Ian Cooper’s dual-edge strategy gives you the advantage. In this exclusive webinar, Ian will show how he combines two powerful systems to stay one step ahead of the market:
While splits don’t change the value of a stock, they can serve as a positive signal. This can then lead to further liquidity and more investor interest. After all, if an attractive $500 stock were to split 10:1, bringing it to $50 a share, more investors are likely to jump in.
Look at O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY), for example.
At the start of June, it traded at about $1,365 before its 15:1 split.
Today, the stock trades at $89.42 and is still just as attractive. Helping, analysts at RBC Capital just reiterated an outperform rating on the stock with a price target of $98.
The firm “expects O’Reilly to report second-quarter comparable sales growth of 3.9%, slightly above the consensus estimate of 3.8%, with earnings per share of $0.78, in line with consensus expectations,” as noted by Investing.com.
In addition, O'Reilly Automotive started 2025 with solid results, achieving 3.6% comparable store sales growth. It also raised its full-year EPS guidance.
Interactive Brokers (IBKR)
In June, IBKR split its stock 4:1 – and now trades at $57.62, where it’s still attractive.
Helping, recent earnings weren’t too shabby.
In its first quarter, revenue of $1.43 billion was up 19% year over year. Customer accounts jumped 32% year over year to 3.62 million, as consumer equity soared 23% to $573.5 billion. However, EPS of $1.88 did miss by five cents. Still, overall earnings and growth were solid.
Welcome back to Traders War Room! Jackson Hole might be a quiet mountain town, but every August it becomes the global stage for Federal Reserve signals. And July is the perfect time to start positioning.
Last year, Powell’s comments moved markets for weeks. This year, with inflation still sticky and rate cuts on pause, expectations are building. Traders who understand how to read the lead-up could catch explosive moves.
How to Trade the Build-Up

The first profit opportunity we will review is a stock purchase in LAUR or Laureate Education. A combined four hundred sixty thousand students are enrolled across five institutions to build an international network in higher education.
Early in the bullish trend first started in February 2024, LAUR experienced several lulls to create an overall sideways period.
In recent months of trading, LAUR built off the strong foundation above the 10-month Moving Average and into a new series of higher highs and higher lows.
With this new series of higher highs and higher lows, LAUR trades in the upper half of the Keltner Channels for an entry opportunity. The next target profit for LAUR is 28 in the trend.
We recommend buying LAUR stock at the current price level.
