The Stock Market Thread

Anybody here use robinhood?

 

I piddle with it. I've made a couple hundred bucks over a year, just got really lucky on a few cheap stocks

 

Yea, but only for cryptocurrency, and the one free stock they gave me.

 

Like it?

 

Robinhood seemed like a pretty solid interface when I played with it for a week or two. Just a heads up, I know there were some issues with it just completely shutting down during the initial COVID crash.

 

I don't use it regularly enough to have an opinion, because my trading platform is ThinkOrSwim through TD Ameritrade. And it has mobile and desktop.

I just pull it up, look at the graph, and decide whether to buy more Dogecoin or not. Usually not. Although if it ever goes anywhere, I'm rich [itch bay].

 

they also route your trade to the cheapest vendor which is a major problem if you are trading small stock with any size. spreads are far wider which is part of the way they make money. i wouldn't use it if you want to trade a lot.

 

With all the big boys going commission free, I'm not sure why anyone would choose to use RobinHood for stock trading.

 

I have one pet Groupon, I think it mostly just pees on the rug

 

For me, a year ago, I didn't know shit about it and a guy I work with sent me an invite.

 

Seems like we're having a "back to reality" day so far, but it could be followed by the biggest rally in history for all I know.

 

One day we are going to learn that there was major market manipulation going on in 2020.

 

L-L-O-L.

Think of the sheer expanse of people and events that such would require.

One day we’re going to see that IP went clinically insane in 2020.

Edit: I know you like watching this American market roar back to life, and in a fraction of the time many thought it’d take.

 

uncertainty creates volatility

 

Check the date and time of my post, the stock performance at that time, and reevaluate your assumptions about my meaning.

 

By who?

 

I think it's roaring back so fast we are going to have major supply issues.

 

I don't know. just seems like there is no rhyme or reason to the volatility.

 

They had three crashes where their entire platform was inaccessible within a one week period (including their support channels). So not only could you not make trades, you couldn't find out why you couldn't make trades either.

Doesn't appear as though they are well-suited to handle high volume trading days.
