    Robinhood uses Uno reverse: Steal from the poor and give to the rich

      Before Robinhood, my (other) broker charged me $1800 in trade commissions in ONE YEAR. Before Robinhood, I never spoke to anyone at my other broker, so they were charging me a huge fee for nothing.

      Nothing is ever free, if the service is free your the product, same as the very platform your commenting from, our viewing habits are used to target advertising. Also tbf to RH they are offering commission free trading but they have to make money somehow, either via share lending or ur share info. Choose ur poison or use paid brokers.

    • @monocharismatic

      Donnie, I agree with you. While I am not and never worked in the investment industry, I do have educational background in Finance and Investment Analysis. My independent study course came with a very thick book with a lot of very fancy mathematics which means that was the "fintech" way of analysis equities and making decisions (as opposed to the investing style based on underlying businesses' fundamentals, which is what Warren Buffett is often credited with basing his decisions on). That study was a long time ago, but a bit more recently (ca 2016) I got exposed to a different fintech style that assesses the risk and potential return of a stock/equity a bit differently which requires access to a lot of historical data that entities like MSCI do have and provide to institutional investors for a subscription (there are many others with Bloomberg probably being the biggest player as they provide a trading platform as well, not just data). You are correct that individual/retail investors don't have some of the requisite knowledge neither about fundamentals based investing nor the fintech one. They don't have access to historical data in the same way either, sure Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, RH, etc. will show you a price, trade volume graph, but you can't get that as a file, nor do you have the historical beta values, or company fundamentals data which you could potentially piece together from various sources, but who has the time for that as it is very tedious. Even if they did, very few have any idea what to do with that, so the best they can do is listen/pay someone else for advice. That exposes them to being scammed.
      Here is what I wrote as a reply to some of the comments here:
      The RH app comes with a EULA (End User License Agreement) just like any piece of software does. EULAs are usually (I'd say always) are very long, and regular individuals do not know what any individual EULA says because we don't read them, basically the TL;DR effect as well as the legalese they are written in, we just click "YES" as a confirmation of agreeing to it prior to installing or using the software. Even if you read the EULA and you do not like something in it, you can't afford to negotiate it as a single individual, so your only choice is to not install the software. I am not sure how large companies handle this, even if they can afford to have a lawyer to read the EULA and explain it, do the large companies negotiate with, say Microsoft, a different EULA? Ultimately, this WSJ video is lacking on many fronts, I feel that it is basically meant to make people aware of RH existense and their upcoming IPO with a sprinkling of some info about it: some history, some positives, some negatives -- but far from a complete picture, which is somewhat understandable because they would have to explain a whole lot more about how the modern trading system/landscape looks like. For example, the difference between institutions investing and retail investing and how that defines who the "market makers" are, which I think is the "crux" of the situation about the whole GameStop situation, meaning that the "system" (including the SEC, who IMHO protect the institutional investors) got irate at the fact that individual investors suddenly became the market makers for GameStop stock and, thus, fouled up some institutional investors that were shorting it. RH got in trouble due to their trading underpinnings (which is what allows their platform function and earn the business money on "free" trades), but it was the individual traders driven by the Reddit's WallStreetBets thread who banded together to invest into the stock thus raising the trading volume on the buy side and causing the price to go up making them the market makers. Institutional investors routinely make large volume buy or sell trades, and nobody bats an eye for the most part, affecting the stock price of individual companies and often a whole sector. GameStop stock price went up 1,000%+ in a matter of days (I haven't looked up the charts for this comment, so I am not here to give an exact analysis), but I am not a trader or someone in the investment industry to say whether it is unprecedented overall, but I imagine it is definitely unprecedented to be driven by the retail investors and that angered the institutional investors, their lobbied politicians in the congress, who then pressured SEC as well. So the way I see it is that RH didn't expect to ever find themselves in a situation like this and that didn't play well with how they operate, so they were forced to react (due to pressure from Citadel?), and their actions were unprecedented for their platform too, meaning they angered their user base and potentially turned some folks away from their platform. But the fact is that RH isn't the one behind potential attempt at market manipulation, if we consider the possibility that someone on Reddit wanted to create a "pump and dump" situation (certainly someone more experienced in investing realized what is happening and made some money on this situation), although there is a chance this was an attempt to "punish" institutional investors holding large amounts in short positions for GameStop stock, but I don't buy it. So a lot of RH and retail investors from other platforms "got had" as they lost money. But so did some of the institutional investors who had to pay extra in margin calls on their short positions, so on the surface both "pump and dump" and a rebellion occurred. RH just happened to find themselves in a position their business model didn't forsee, which also demonstrated that inexperienced or idealistic individual investors can be vulnerable to be scammed en-masse, and the GameStop situation IMHO was mostly possible due to the participation of the idealistic investors, who probably invested a small amount individually for the most part, thus each one didn't loose that much. Some of those who saw a "pump and dump" opportunity may have lost large sums, some profited handsomely. In the process, we learned a bit more about how RH works and makes money, does this make them the bad guys?

      Too big of an assumption. Fidelity is getting very close with its beta features. All it would take is for a company to offer a better experience while marketing that they do not take payment for order flow, or answer to Citadel.
      This could just be a play for early investors to get their payout before it's eventual demise.
