History

Founded by George Thompson in 1999, The Wizetrade Group, LLP was originally known as GlobalTec Solutions, LLP prior to Summer 2008.[1] Since its inception, the company has held an annual convention known as Wizefest. George H. W. Bush[2] and Colin Powell[3] are two keynote speakers who have spoken at prior Wizefest events.

GlobalTec Solutions was acquired by the now-defunct Dynetech Corporation of Orlando, Florida in 2002.[4] In the wake of an economic downturn, Dynetech sold Wizetrade to an unidentified company in August 2009, whereupon it was folded into California-based MB Trading Holdings LLC, an online investment software firm.[5]

Wizetrade TV

The Wizetrade Group was responsible for the online television network, Wizetrade TV.[6] The network was broadcast in high-definition and featured 12 hours of live, in-the-market chart analysis and commentary about the markets.[1] As of mid-2009, segments aired included Mad Charts, Five & Dime, The Morning Edge, Future Focus and Opening Bell.[7]
