Meet Ben Mitchell
About Ben Mitchell:
Ben Mitchell has been working with TRADEway since he was 18 years old. Now over a decade later, he's the Team Manager for TRADEway, leading a team of over 40 team members, and the Creator and Director of TRADEway Precious Metals, a division completely dedicated to the teaching of proper precious metals investing.
When you joined the TRADEway team:
2013
Area of expertise at TRADEway:
Precious metals investing.
What is your "why" for being on the TRADEway team?
My family, our students, and the TRADEway mission.
What do you love most about the TRADEway clients?
Their faith in the Lord for His guidance over their finances, and diligence to master the TRADEway system with the help of our courses and awesome Coaches.
What do you love most about your job as a Coach?
It's quite the honor to be someone our students rely on for their metals advice. Phone calls and webinars are always a blast for me.
Fun fact or hidden talent:
I am a drummer, and have had the privilege to write, record, and perform with many talented bands and songwriters.
Personal life:
Life out in the country with five little kids is a dream. In my personal time, I enjoy working on outside projects with my wife and kids and taking care of our animals (chickens, ducks, cats, and our beloved dog, Almanzo, or Manzo for short).
Best trading memory:
"Practicing what I preach" has always been a mental guardrail for me in my personal trading, and every time I place a successful trade (or precious metals purchase), it feels much like my first "win" ever -- that feeling never gets old. But, like everyone else, I have learned a good amount of times that NOT "practicing what I preach" almost always leads to unnecessary expenses.
Favorite Bible Verse:
Did you love this? Share it with your family & friends!

The long-term investing industry hasn’t really changed that much in the last 50 years as far as their message goes: ”Don’t worry about bear market crashes, just stay the course…” Many people argue that the average person on the street would be way better off if they just bought the S&P 500 and held it rather than trying to buy and sell individual stocks themselves. Well, that may be absolutely true if you have zero trading skillsets. But if you do have the kind of trading skillsets that TRADEway teaches, then the old line philosophy of buy and hold isn’t the best strategy for you. In today’s episode we’re talking about some common myths that buy-and-hold-ers propagate. Let’s get into this important discussion…

We all know that feeling… A trade is going well and you’re feeling elated anticipating taking profits. And then out of seemingly nowhere, it tanks. Man, it’s frustrating! And if this has happened to you–maybe once, maybe many times–just know, you’re not alone. You might be wondering, why did this happen? It turns out there are three common reasons why trades stop working. Once you learn these three reasons it will be easier for you to analyze your past trades and figure out what went wrong. But more importantly, once you learn these three reasons why trades stop working, you’ll be better able to prevent a trade from going south in the first place, because you’ll start to recognize the warning signs. So let’s dive in. Here are three most common reasons why people’s trades stop working.

But you can’t incorporate something like stock trading into your household unless there is a shared mission between husband and wife. So what do you do if you want to give stock trading a try, but you’re not sure if your spouse is “all in” on it? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.
