Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion
What do we use if NOT Robinhood? We need the tools. What are the apps we can use? Some sites to use.
For us who plan on sticking with Robinhood, what's the vitriol everyone on here has about it? Seems like the only people I've seen talk bad about it have talked stocks like Tesla, Apple and the three digit buy in stocks. Not everyone is balling out the gate.
Give us some sources, please.
Also, what time do we need to be UP AND READY for stocks? Should it be the first thing we check at 7am?
Any podcasts you guys listen to? Where's the best place to look for terminology? Things I've been hoping to get answers for:
1. How to build a dividend portfolio?
2. Are Fractional investments worthwhile?
3. Is Robinhood Gold worth considering?
4. Seeking Alpha -- is this a good source of research?
5. For those starting out, what's the percentage people should be putting in on stocks for their pot. Say if they start with $50, what % should they focus on actually using, versus blowing it all at once?
Thanks Fellas.

first of all, get fidelity. not robinhood
second of all, whats your goal and how quick do you want to make money. because the quicker you want to make it, the less likely it is youll succeed. not that you wont be able to

could be a buy the rumor sell the news situation but even then Chevron last five years trades near or over a hundred. It's at $68. Exxon always trades in the 70s-80s and it's at $37.
If they don't see a quick bump they will eventually come back.

I don't take many risks, really. I only buy in to where I think it will eventually turn green. Not everything has to be a home run. Singles can be good too.
For me personally, I'm not here to get rich quick. With a baby on the way, I wanted to have something grow, and give something to her that's also a hobby of mine in the meantime.first of all, get fidelity. not robinhood

I dont mind getting the penny stocks to toy around with and get my feet wet either, just want to be certain I'm not biting off more than I can chew.
word, then id say just get fidelity and buy 2 index funds, FSPGX and FXAIX. throw in as much as you can at the end of every month
thats perfect investing
in 5-10 years theyll be up pretty high. plus you can fukk around with individual stocks you think will do well

Discover is starting to get interesting. It's down to $31. It usually trades well above in the 80's for years. Problem is their model is far riskier than Mastercard.
I was waiting for Mastercard to get a little more interesting but it's holding up fairly well all things considering
Overall today was a bloodbath but we are still at 21k when a couple weeks ago this shyt hit 18.5

robinhood is very limited in research tools, features, customer support and the app has a lot of technical issues from my experience. the simplicity is nice but after switching to TD Ameritrade i wish i did it sooner because their customer support is 100x better and the info they include is 10x better. if robinhood fit your needs then it's fine to stick with them, but i wouldn't trust my money with a company that's not reliable.

I’ve been switching over to TD Ameritrade. Definitely got like 100x more features than Robinhood just a lot more cluttered layout that I got to get used too. Robinhood simplicity and layout is better for sure but to level up I know I gotta switch to something better. Which platform on TD do you use?

just saw a cool commercial from budweiser...it showed empty sports stadium...concerts...bars etc. and ended w/ the tag line “we’ll meet again”...thought it was cool and out of curiosity checked the stock...it’s about half off from what it’s consistently done in the months leading up to when everything fell off...might be worth looking into
