Personally I use charles schwab which is I think less user friendly than something like robinhood, but the fee structure is pretty fair. That said I think the fees are probably pretty negligible for basically any firm you can choose.

Like I said earlier one good way to start is to just buy some shares in really stable tech companies like apple and Microsoft. They tend to grow faster than the market overall while still being really safe stocks. You can also just invest in an index fund like Vanguard Information Technology index fund, or "VGT".

I can recommend both Fidelity and Vanguard. Sure, their UIs aren't as simple and easy like Robinhood, but honestly, Robinhood is a terrible brokerage on many levels. It took a kid committing suicide for them to get their heads out of their asses and stop dishing out margin accounts like subprime mortgage-backed securities in 2007. They've had inexplicable service outages. Their app is buggy and exploitable. They ran out of liquidity during the recent GameStop fiasco and their CEO looked like a complete idiot trying to talk his way out of the mess they got themselves into by being as disingenuous as possible on TV.

 

Maybe I'm being a bit old school and elitist, but I see Robinhood as a toy for trading. I need multiple browser tabs and windows open to handle my investing and research, not a tiny phone screen. No serious investor uses Robinhood and they further tanked their own business with their recent self-inflicted PR wounds. The only real change they brought to the industry was making trades free and forcing traditional brokerages to adapt to the same model. Everything else about them has been a circus since day one.

 

 

You know, that has me thinking, even though it flies in the face of every piece of traditional investing advice, I can't really argue against someone treating AAPL as their bank account and going all in on it. There are quite a few people who have done that. I can't recommend it as a strategy, but it works if you have the stomach for it.

Nice, thanks guys. Will take a look into this in the coming days !
