Is robinhood.com Safe?

Unsolicited spam email, and not a company I would personally trust. ***** sent me an email out of the blue, addressed "Hi byrbknmr", despite me never having visited their website or signed up for an account with them. A little research led me to Jackie Lam's article in Time – ***** – which details a number of multi-million dollar fines Robinhood has had to pay and even the settling of a wrongful death lawsuit after the suicide of a customer. Gamifying investing is highly unethical in my view and should be prohibited by law. Lam explains in the article how passive (i.e. more traditional) investing has been shown to increase wealth much more in the long-term.

This is some kind of wrong Robingood, he takes money from the poor and gives it to the rich. Whenever you are about to buy a stock, the moment you buy, the price jumps up miraculously, and when you are about to sell a stock, the price jumps down miraculously. This is not magic, but outright fraud. The algorithms of this resource are deceiving you.

Fraudulent trading platform. Will block and cancel your trades at their whims. Limiting the market and pressing you to close in unfavorable positions. Frequent crashes and poor app performance especially during peak trading hours. 0 / 10, Do not use.
