Wade does do through research on what he teaches. And not only the research but provides the practical experience. I have learned in life, rarely does 'experts' publish the whole truth. They leave out critical information. Wade gives us the WHOLE TRUTH. I have found traditional stock market advise is the opposite of what we should do to be successful. Along with Wade's advise, get a copy of the book by Benjamin Graham, 'THE INTELLGENT INVESTOR'. 99% of the wealth earned in the stock market is made when emotions are suppressed. It is not the optimistic trader or even the pessimistic trader that succeeds in investing. It's the INTELLGENT INVESTOR.
