Ian Cooper

For eight years, Ian has avoided the herd mentality of Wall Street.

That explains why he purchased housing before the 2004 rise and shorted sub-prime and big housing names before the 2007 fall . . . all while the "experts" were doing the opposite.

In 1999, Ian left his job in public relations because he couldn't continue saying good things about companies he just didn't like. Since then, he's been a financial analyst and his passion for Wall Street, technical analysis and the idea of fast money prompted the move.

Ian has written numerous articles on topics as diverse as trading news, mergers and acquisitions, crude oil, housing, and emerging market opportunities.

He's appeared in Investor's Business Daily and Forbes.com and has been a guest on Money Matters with Barry Armstrong, Stock Dr. with Lee Seiler, and On the Money with Mike Stein several times throughout the years.

As Always, Ian relies on technical and fundamental analysis for investment evaluations and recommendations, and has leveraged his options and stock trading passion to fuel his search for fast profits. Which is just what you can expect him to deliver to his readership.
