STOP GIVING COMMIEFORNIA & NY YOUR INVESTMENT MONEY
Use Tradestation... a Florida based brokerage platform with a mobile app, free crypto trading and free stock trading.
They didn't cuck out and you can buy GME or NOK or whatever the heck you want to buy.
STOP GIVING MONEY TO LOSER LEFTISTS!!! If you do, you're part of the problem.
*I have absolutely no affiliation with Tradestation, I just use them. I left Robhinhood a year ago because they're HQ is based in California and I refuse to give that shithole state my investment funds so they can buy homeless people drugs.
Generally that's true but not when you're dealing with large sums of deposited money which sit in the investment account for years.
They make their real money from mutual fund exchanging, futures trading and options trading as well as professional/high volume traders.
Consumer equity investing (the free stuff) is just to bring deposited cash in that they can reinvest similar to what banks do.
They used to charge a trade fee like the other firms until competition forced them to get rid of the fee.
So I agree with your statement but not in this particular context. Banking is a whole different beast
