I went to the BetterTrades 'Financial Freedom Expo' in St. Paul Minesota on Oct. 13, 2009 to learn how to get control of my retirement funds after being mislead by several brokers over the years. As my personal investment research has just begun, the first glaring bit of information that I learned was that the key failure that started the failure of the old Wall Street model was the result of the AIG corporation and its creation of a new department to capture the great profits that can be made by 'Credit Default Derivatives' which turn out to be very fragile financial products. As I was told very sternly not to interrupt the presentation with any questions, I waited until the' after presentation 'Hard Sell' time with the speakers assistants to answer the question, " if the core of the program is day-trading of 'Options', weren't 'Credit Default Derivatives' Options and how do we justify selling and buying such options which were such a significant part of the previous failure of our financial system? Three assistants didn't know how to answer my simple question and deferred me to a Gary Moore who identified himself as a Christian minister and who told me to trust in the program and who still didn't answer a basic question which I expected such 'experts' to know. We were told to hurry and be one of the next 5 people to sign up up for the very expensive program and get the home and live seminars for the same price. That turned out be not be true for all 20 participants would get the same 'deal' if they signed up. I asked for several local students' phone numbers who purchased their program and who I could call and ask their opinion of the program but was offered none. The pressure to sign up without answering our questions lead us out the door without signing up. Their presentation lacks depth and credibility. Patrick

I so wish I would have never heard of this company. I wanted to work from home and still make decent money. I thought stock trading would be the answser. I signed up with Better Trades and it's been nothing but a down hill spiral for me since. I thought with their money-back guarantee how could I lose. Well, the contract that you sign is so incredibly binding, there is no chance of getting any money back. In fact, you have to spend MORE money in order to have any hope of functioning in trading. The founder, Freddie Rick, says you CAN function with just the basic class and it's like the differece between driving a beater car or a Rolls Royce. What he was really saying was if you did not spend another $4000 at the class, you can't possibly do trading. Once signed up, you are bombarded with additional classes offered... all for a mere sum of $500 each plus your travel expense.

I studied diligently on a daily basis. In the first 6 months, I was no where near ready to make the amount of trades they require in order to get your money back. And don't think they haven't figured that out. My money was running out and I could no longer sustain the credit card payments they were charging me. I had no choice but to close the credit card which was only 1 month prior to the expiration of my contract. That should have been around $500 still owed.

It is now 1 month later and I received a bill for nearly $6000... that is not a typo! They are charging me over $200/day interest and compounding it. It is not likely in this lifetime that I would ever be able to pay that. They will ruin my credit which has always been excellent and are calling to harrass me several times a day.

I cannot figure out why the Attorney General hasn't gone after this company. If there is a class action suit out there, please sign me up!!!

I went to one of their seminars in Concord, CA on Tuesday because I was curious about the product. I have been trading in the market for several years and I'm always looking for an added edge. I found the Better Trades product to be far too expensive for what they offer. Their CDs and DVDs can be found on Ebay from individuals who are trying to retrieve "part" of the $3000 -$4000 they spent on the same course.
Much of the information Better Trades offers can also be found FREE at the following website: http://www.mysmp.com/options.html
Do yourself a favor and research this site. It will save you from a $4000 mistake, and it may answer some questions about trading.

I just wanted to Thank Everyone for their comments. I was actually on my way to a seminar at Grandover Resort in Greensboro NC today, when I decided to look them up and the after reading these comments I will not be going.
Thank everone for saving me Time and Money.
