Who's the blame

Why Robinhood is not the blame

It's not Robinhood's responsibility to ensure platform users and Investors do their own research. Why should Robinhood be blamed for catering their Ap to a younger and less experienced audience. The intent, just like any other Trading Ap is to earn income while offering a pleasant friendly experience in hopes of gaining more users. I agree some Investing platforms may appear to be more informative on the surface but they offer no more data than Robinhood. The perception is that Robinhood is reckless and the platform's appearance sets a tone of carelessness.

Does Robinhood foster bad Trades

It's up to the Investor

All Investors have made a bad Trade, no one bats 100 percent. It's up to the Investor to understand the funds in which they invest. The brokerage bears no responsibility nor is it their intent to drive user to lose money. While I am sympathetic to any Investor that take a bad loss but it's also their responsibility to limit risky trades. All Investors should understand what they are Investing in and do their due diligence before placing a trade.

Why is the Robinhood Ap distracting

Mastering a younger audience

Robinhood's brokerage Ap has been said to just be more about "Bells and Whistles" and not properly warning users about the dangers of losing money. Robinhood's focus is on the modern day user and algorithm attraction. It focuses on younger behaviors and how to maintain usage. It's the Investors responsibility to study the stock before executing a buy as on any other brokerage platform.

Financial Advisor

Robinhood is not a Financial Advisor

Brokerage Aps are not Financial Advisors, they report news and provide data on publicly traded companies.

Conclusion

Robinhood was the first brokerage account I used and continue to use today. Never once was I distracted by so-called bells and whistles. The platform's friendly experience never influenced me to make a particular trade. I've made bad trades on multiple brokerage Aps, all irrelevant to its appearance and features within the Ap. I fully understand as an Investor, all decisions to buy or not to buy a stock is my own choice. You should always do your own research before investing into any Stock. You should first understand the company in which you are considering investing. You should first be familiar with how they earn income, operations and management. You should explore historical data, balance sheets and most recent earnings. Brokerage Aps are not Financial Advisors, they merely provider data on publicly trading companies.

Robinhood continues to upgrade its offering, burnishing its credentials as an innovative upstart that gives customers what they want. Its no-cost trading on stocks and ETFs made the app a household name, and Robinhood raised the bar further with no-commission trading on options and no-commission cryptocurrency trading, albeit with a built-in markup. The brokerage innovated with an unlimited match on IRA deposits, and now also offers joint accounts. Robinhood has worked on bolstering weak points such as customer service, where it offers phone and email options, as well as 24/7 chat functionality. Solid improvements all — but the broker still falls short in some notable areas such as a total lack of mutual funds, limited account types and uncertain markups on cryptocurrency, when compared to full-service online brokers.
