BetterTrades

BetterTrades has only been in existence since 2002, but has made a big impact on the world of investing during its relatively short life. The company, incorporated in Nevada and with corporate headquarters in the Atlanta suburbs, is the No. 1 stock market education company in North America. The BetterTrades mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and ability to make their own financial decisions in order to make better trades.

BetterTrades, founded by entrepreneurs Freddie and Mitzi Rick, has experienced consistent growth since it was established from humble beginnings. The BetterTrades message is introduced through a free two-hour Financial Freedom Expo, which offers individuals the opportunity to take advantage of the educational information available. The company offers classes and workshops that are taught by a staff of veteran coaches who have years of experience teaching and trading the stock.

Each of the specialty coaches on staff brings a wealth of real-world teaching experience and all have their own specialty niche. Topics they teach range from credit spreads to technical analysis, from indicators to candlestick charts, and from asset protection to long-range planning. The depth of educational information available at BetterTrades is enough to satisfy the needs of any potential stock market trader.

The BetterTrades programs are taught throughout North America in more than 100 cities, with new markets being opened in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand. Thousands of students have completed the Market Essentials program, the company's comprehensive two-day introductory workshop which teaches the fundamentals needed to learn to trade the stock market.

BetterTrades students come from all walks of life and encompass every possible social and economic group. They often become part of a community of traders, forming friendships and using each other as a sounding board or a support group. And while most of the students are average people, there are some celebrities in the ranks, such as former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson, NFL Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas and three-time Super Bowl winner Ed McCaffrey. All three are graduates of the BetterTrades system.
