Your best bet is to contact your state and see if they were involved in this specific action. If you can’t find out, you might try contacting the Washington State Attorney General’s office to find out which states did participate. Is there an investors group in your area that might have more information?

“Wade Cook firms agree to settle claims” - Posted by Pam WA

Associated Press- 10/6/2000
Two companies founded by Wade Cook,… agreed to stop “deceptive practices” and refund millions to people who lost money while using his investment advice, under nationwide settlements announced Thursday.
(further down in article…)
Separate settlements are being filed in 14 states, including Washington.
Refunds will be granted to people who paid for Cook’s seminar between 1997 and 1999 and lost money during the year following the workshop using his stock trading strategies.
“This case is not about good or bad advice. It is about Cook’s failure to be truthful in his presentations,” said John Bley, director of the Washington state Dept. or Financial Institutions, which has been investigating Cook since 1995.

How Can I obtain more information on this topic. I attended Wade Cook’s seminar in 1999 and proceeded to lose money in 2000. Not only did I pay thousands of dollars for his seminars, but proceeded to lose money in the market after using his strategies.
Please Help.
