BetterTrades History

The history of BetterTrades began with a dream of one individual and has spread like a wildfire throughout North America. The message of how an individual can attain a stock market education and use that knowledge to reshape their life for the better just seems resonate throughout the culture, regardless of age, gender, economic or social status. BetterTrades has a history of helping people become smarter and using their new-found ability to change their financial future, assisting them in the process of realizing their personal financial goals.

The BetterTrades history starts with entrepreneur Freddie Rick, a man born and raised in the rural Louisiana town of Kentwood, where his neighbors included pop singer Britney Spears. Freddie Rick was born to a middle-class family; his father owned a welding business and his mother worked for the local drug store. He spent a lot of time helping in the family business.

But Freddie didn't see himself settling down and working a regular job. His entrepreneurial spirit shown through in everything he did and he was constantly looking for ways to put his ideas to work. He operated a roadside stand for a while, but was put out of business when a big tree fell on top of it after a storm. He designed a new knife for cutting potatoes and sold them to vendors at the carnival.

After serving a hitch in the U.S. Marine Corp, where he was promoted to the rank of sergeant, Freddie was looking for an avenue to use his entrepreneurial abilities. He found it in the stock market. He personally developed and designed the strategies that are used by BetterTrades, a history that includes the introduction of his patented "A-B-C 1-2-3" method of learning. Freddie likes to say that learning to trade the stock market is simple, but it isn't easy, but that by using proven methods the process becomes less-difficult to understand and safer for those who are less experienced.

The BetterTrades history begins when Freddie created a special newsletter to help inform people about stock market investments. The newsletter grew in popularity and led to the development of the Market Essentials workshop, a two-day comprehensive program that is designed to help students come away with the basic concepts needed to succeed. Market Essentials allows students the opportunity to learn at a live event from an experienced instructor who has had a proven record of success trading the stock market.

BetterTrades currently visits more than 100 cities in North America with its message of financial freedom and the company recently took the news to Asia, making stops in Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand. The BetterTrades history book already includes a regular stop in Ireland and there are plans to add more cities in Central Europe to the rotation.

Thousands of students have gone through the BetterTrades program and taken charge of their own financial development. With the good educational base provided by BetterTrades and the willingness to work hard, a student can work their way toward fulfilling their personal dreams.
