I know this was asked recently, did you do a search? I use Robinhood but I'm super new to it all. I have no idea what I'm doing so I've only traded a few stocks!

I use cash app and robinhood. Baby stepping my way into this.
I'm really interested to know what others are using as well.

I use CoinBase to trade crypto
I'm on the fence about RobinHood though...

I think alot of folks use Robinhood. Think that is a good start for a beginner.

I just want to say I am excited for Monday to see what the markets are going to bring.

Stockpile and Merrill lynch or whoever’s connected to your bank I.e. Merrill Lynch and BofA. Stockpile is cool because it lets you buy partial shares of big name stocks you otherwise couldn’t afford like Netflix Amazon etc that cost over $500 per whole share. Also if you have an iPhone, there is a stock/news app built in. Use that to watch the market and read articles about companies of interest.

Thank you. When you mean do a search do you mean like a LSA search? I don't live int the USA so I think Robinhood is American?

My best stock is MTCH (over 32 different online dating platforms including tinder, Match, PoF). Have partial shares of Amazon google and few others. Research in pharmaceuticals, tech, cannabis... but really what ever interests you. I learned about MTCH after deactivating my first tinder account after two weeks. I was like “wtf was that! Do they have a stock?” Started reading. And after selling all my Facebook (great stock but evil) MTCH is my best one yet.

TD Ameritrade
I love Ameritrade, but I do not currently advise for OTC stocks. Ameritrade charges a commission for OTC trading, but there is no commission for all the other Markets. I love Ameritrade because it will do a DCA and average your cost for you. Ameritrade will also allow you to purchase stocks before a sell or deposit is settled in your account. So if you are not purchasing OTC stocks, go TDAmeritrade, yes.

I seem to remember a thread where different apps were discussed. This thread is kinda long but maybe you can search for app within the thread.

The Stock Market Is The Best Bet For Black People To Gain Wealth!

I've only bought a few shares and I've not cashed out yet. I'm so bad at looking at my phone that I fear I'd forget about the stocks and lose all my money. It's something I really want to work at though. I think I have some buying power at Robinhood, I'm not sure what that means.

MTCH has been good to me too.

I use Robinhood and Fidelity, but I prefer Robinhood's layout.
For crypto I use Coinbase and Uphold.
