Robinhood is a predatory lending scheme. The vast majority of its users should not be trading anything other than indexes.

I have a couple of shares on the app for a company. Just for anecdotal data. It’s fun to see. I would never put large amounts of my money in there.

I've been using Robinhood for the past year, and I hope they add basic features such as:

- The ability to short a stock, which I still can't believe isn't available.

- Price Alerts

Everything else is gravy, IMO, especially if they keep the same basic, sleek interface, which I actually like.

It's everyone's right to shoot themselves in the foot with dumb financial decisions. Robinhood isn't doing anything egregious here, they're only reducing friction and fees.

I've used the app sparingly in the past with "fun money" but haven't done serious investing with it.
