PROFILE |
 |
Wade Cook Financial (WCF) feeds off the need for green. The company produces a number of seminars around the country promising to teach paying attendees how to make a killing by investing in real estate and the stock market. Fourteen states disputed WCF's claims of success, however, and filed consumer protection suits against the company, all of which were settled in 2001. Fees from its 1,200 annual events account for nearly 80% of sales. Most of the company's material is culled from its founder, CEO, and guru Wade Cook (author of "Wall Street Money Machine"), who owns about 65% of the company. WCF also owns three publishing firms, a book distributor, a paging service, and has interests in real estate and hospitality.
