Jimmy Johnson - BetterTrades Student

Most people who follow professional football recognize Jimmy Johnson as the man who coached the Dallas NFL Team to a pair of football championships. He arrived in Texas when the team was in disarray, then teamed with owner Jerry Jones to turn the team into a playoff contender and eventually into a championship outfit. But fewer people realize that Johnson has also learned how to trade the stock market by becoming involved with BetterTrades.

Jimmy Johnson has made the statement repeatedly that he learned more in two days with BetterTrades than he did his entire life by using a stock broker. Just because you're an NFL coach or an NFL star and make a lot of money doesn't mean you necessarily know what to do with it. Johnson had always been content to let a trained financial adviser take care of his money and his investments. But since joining the BetterTrades team, Johnson has been showing how it is possible to take responsibility for many of his own financial decisions.

In his own trading, Jimmy Johnson will occasionally use the go-for-broke style of trading, kind of like throwing a deep pass on third-and-one. But Jimmy also likes the consistency and conservatism that comes through using the Iron Condors, a strategy that works whether the stock goes up or down, and really works if the stock remains static.

"This is the real deal. You can profit in the market, right now," Johnson said. Mentored by BetterTrades founder Freddie Rick, Jimmy has realized the benefits of trading with a proven game plan. "In my own account, I’ve seen trades that have made me $10,000, $20,000 – even $38,000." Every day of Jimmy’s coaching career, he made critical decisions that factored into his game day scheme. Now he’s making the calls that determine his financial future.

Because of his background as a coach, Jimmy Johnson knows the key to success lies in the mastery of fundamentals. The same is true in the stock market, he said. By understanding the various strategies taught by BetterTrades, Johnson is able to adjust his game plan to current market conditions. "The market goes up, the market goes down. From BetterTrades, I’ve learned the strategies to profit in this market, whichever way it goes," Johnson said.

Since joining the BetterTrades team in 2007, Jimmy Johnson has been a regular at the company's national events. Johnson has participated at the 2007 Traders Super Summit in Dallas and returned for the 2009 event in Orlando.
