The reason many people might lack confidence is the concerted effort by all the big investment firms to hurt their image. Their model where it costs nothing to invest and minimal SEC-mandated charges to sell has totally upset the applecart with which they are familiar. I was in the grocery store today and overheard part-time grocery clerks discussing their investments thru Robinhood. They have on their team a former head of the SEC and just upgraded their board with additional top talent. There is a good chance when the public does see their IPO documents. They will find that Robinhood had generated far more income than ever thought possible. I absolutely would invest in the Robinhood IPO if I legally could. I just have to find that trustworthy soul who isn’t related.
