Challenge Goes Unanswered.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1999--

After repeated attempts by The Motley Fool writers to discredit the time-proven strategies taught by Wade Cook and the Wall Street Workshop(TM), the Fools are silent on a formal challenge issued by Cook that TMF "walk the walk."

The challenge is simple: Wade Cook and TMF each to contribute $1,000,000 to test out their strategies. A third party auditor will monitor each portfolio and at the end of a year the winner will take the cumulative money in both accounts and give it to the charity or charities of their choice. Also, this challenge provides a great way to let one or two charities reap a windfall benefit as they received the profits from both accounts.

More than a month has past since the challenge, with no response from TMF staffers. Writers for the pop-investing web site continually post negative and misleading articles about Wade Cook Seminars' classes. To date, no TMF writer that we know has actually attended a Wall Street Workshop to assess the teaching fairly, despite an open invitation.
