From his early days as a child in Kentwood, Louisiana, a small town that's best
known as the birthplace of singer Britney Spears, all the neighbors could tell
that Freddie Rick wasn't the average kid. While the other
children in town spent their spare time at the swimming pool, Freddie Rick was
developing the sort of entrepreneurial spirit that eventually led to the
creation of BetterTrades.
Freddie's future may have been set when he was 5. That's when he won a transistor radio for selling the most candy in a Rotary Club contest. From there he built a cart and sold boiled peanuts by the side of the road, a business that ended when a tree fell on the business. He operated a snow cone stand. He created a machine to slice potatoes.
Freddie Rick's journey toward founding BetterTrades began when he entered the U.S. Marine Corp upon graduating from high school. Freddie rose to the rank of sergeant and had been chosen to attend a special leadership academy, but decided instead to leave the service and enter private business instead.
Freddie Rick settled in the San Diego area and soon became involved with network marketing. Freddie eventually got interested in the stock market. Freddie read all the material he could find on stock market investing and began seeing what would work for him. After many months of research, Freddie settled upon the strategies that would become the foundation for the BetterTrades system.
Because of his desire to help other people, Freddie Rick put the material he learned from personal experience together as an education product. That's how BetterTrades was formed in 2002. Since then Freddie Rick's stock market education product has helped thousands of people learn how to trade the market.
In 2007, Freddie Rick formed CodeReady Solutions, an IT firm under the umbrella
of Long Term - Short Term, Inc. Freddie Rick was recently profiled in the
Gwinnett Business Journal for his entrepreneurial spirit.
The values expressed by BetterTrades founder Freddie Rick are evident in everything he's accomplished. Starting with his military service, Freddie has been devoted to being the best he can be. His community involvement and his investment strategy have been grounded in his determination to provide help and hope. His trading strategy has been honed and shaped over the years to reflect his feelings and desires.
