Serious question, I found some of these Vanguard Index Funds/ETFs on Robin Hood, is there a good reason to go through an institution?
There is worry about the apps failing if there is a huge downturn. The holdings should be protected by the SIPC. Honestly get a Vanguard account. The trades for Vanguard products and many ETFs are free. Plus, the advanced support you get is priceless. We had some off market company shares in an account and they were awesome selling them and figuring out a cost basis. That trade only cost $7.Serious question, I found some of these Vanguard Index Funds/ETFs on Robin Hood, is there a good reason to go through an institution?

Just opened a Roth with them actually.Let me flip that around on you ... if you want to invest in Vanguard funds why wouldn't you just open up an account with Vanguard directly, who have been around for 40ish years and manage about $4 trillion? Why go to robin hood, a middleman who has only been around for a few years?
For what it's worth, the Vanguard app has been able to do everything I've wanted to do. Granted, I'm not a day trader.
Pack it with the $6,000!Just opened a Roth with them actually.
You shouldn't be trading two shares anyways.I just sold 2 shares of a stock in my traditional account... $15 transaction fee. I’m out!
Robinhood is my new account for stock trading.
I started off with the $5,500 for last year, will do $6,000 this year for sure.Pack it with the $6,000!
I agree. It was an employer stock account and it only had two shares left in it. I closed it out. The shares were free to me.You shouldn't be trading two shares anyways.
Even better I forgot about being able to contribute for 2018 until April 15th.I started off with the $5,500 for last year, will do $6,000 this year for sure.

Haha I don't think he would be worried about $15 then.How do you know he didn't just offload 2 Class A of BRK :stir:
