If anybody using Wade Cook's "techniques" made itthrough the October 27, '97 selloff(especially with call options), Iwould classify that as a stock market miracle. Read books by investors with PROVEN track records like William O'neil and Peter Lynch. The trades Cook has disclosed don't tell the full story of his stock and option market dealings. I'd like to see what his trading account started out at and where it is today. This would show what his TRUE annual rate of return has been and not the claims he prints which could possibly mislead thousands of investor's into thinking they'll be better investor's than Warren Buffett. If Wade is such a savvy investor, then he wouldn't need to charge $4000+ for seminars to "show investors the light". Toss this in the trash and do the proper homework if you want to be successful in the markets. END
