I was at a Mariner's game up in the corporate box and my wife asks me if I knew the box next to us was owned by Wade Cook Financial Corporation. I said no but looked over and guess who I saw, Mr. Cook himself. I'd have to say he looked worn, probably a result of the legal battles.
Wade is a heck of a sales person but I think he charged way too much for his services. Most of what he taught was available in books but people just hate to read. WCFC material's entire mindset was geared towards a bull market. In a bear market, bull-put spreads, covered calls and selling puts with the option of buying them back and rolling them out will be crushed.
