I dabbled in stocks before coming to crypto. I used Robinhood since you can do commission-free trades. There's no research, but the trade is free, so if you have another site where you can learn, you can buy with RH. I stopped buying additional stocks when I started doing crypto, but I had a few that I'm still HODLing.

Cool. Never hear of Robin Hood. I'll have to check it out. I still like to trade a few stocks but the fees kill me.
Never heard of Robin Hood either. How does zero fees on trades make a successful business model? Sounds too good to be true. There has to be a catch?
It's all part of the new business model that involves getting as many users as possible. Don't worry about how much they pay, just get them. RH was funded by Google Ventures, and others, including Snoop Dogg and Jared Leto. They make their money with the margin accounts that you can upgrade to. That allows you to do more than simply purchase a stock. If all you want is to own a share, RH is great!
