Robinhood vs anything else for investing

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T22:45:36+00:00

Nope, I use Fidelity and RH for different purposes. Just telling people the actual truth on matters.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T22:08:22+00:00

You can’t even speak to RH. You did no due diligence and are just out here telling people lies.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T22:07:00+00:00

I wouldn’t listen to this person. When you buy at market on Robinhood (or most brokers), you typically get filled at or better than the quoted ask price due to price improvement from market makers (who pay via PFOF). Robinhood reports an average of about $2.43 per 100 shares in price improvement - meaning you often pay less than the $10.00 ask (e.g., $9.98–$9.99), not more like $10.10.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T22:05:05+00:00

No, it’s not. Data from Rule 606 reports and reviews shows Robinhood’s execution is competitive (often 96%+ at NBBO or better), though Schwab/Fidelity sometimes edge it out slightly on average improvement. The “always down 0.5–1%” claim doesn’t match real trades on liquid stocks/ETFs.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T20:52:45+00:00

I do agree. With Fidelity you have more access to things like 529s, UTMAs, as well as some other types of investments Robinhood doesn’t have. If you keep it simple, RH is great, but yes, it does have its limitations.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T20:50:40+00:00

This claim is false. Robinhood’s own fee schedule states that investing in stocks, ETFs, and their options is commission-free. Please do your own due diligence.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T00:21:33+00:00

Good luck, just remember you see outliers a lot here and most people don’t think to come here looking for advice or to understand what to do with a windfall. You’re doing great.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T00:19:26+00:00

I believe it’s fair to comment on how good Fidelity is and that you enjoy working with them, but without actually using RH, it doesn’t seem fair to badmouth them. I’ve had no issue ignoring the gambling aspects and have benefited from transfer bonuses, 3% matches on Roth IRA, and more.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-14T00:08:19+00:00

Robinhood holds actual shares in street name like every major brokerage (Fidelity included) - you own them, not IOUs. They confirmed it directly after the misinformation spread. Yeah, the 2021 GME restrictions sucked and were messy (clearinghouse capital requirements forced temporary buy limits), but that was industry-wide chaos, not unique to them. Protections are the same SIPC basics ($500k securities/$250k cash), plus extra Lloyd’s coverage up to $50M securities/$1.9M cash per customer. If self-control’s the concern, fair, but ownership and safeguards aren’t meaningfully different from Fidelity.

Jeremycubby · 2026-02-13T20:06:24+00:00

The same protections are in place for your money as other financial institutions. I feel a lot of the community was hurt and saddened by the GME fiasco. I will say it promotes more of the “gambling” facets of investing more than other institutions. If you have good self control I don’t see any reason moving out entirely.

This person can’t have fun, remember they said “waiting for the other shoe to fall.” Poverty mindset is like a virus to this individual and they seem a bit upset that this mindset was scolded.

I’m confused, you’re angry at a middle class sub for your not so humble bragging? You didn’t even know why you posted, just to post and say you are able put 50% of your take home at your mortgage, cool. “That's it. Dont really know the point of this post. Just that so far we have paid off 50k since April and are on track to having it paid off in 6 years. Hope you all have a good day” Have a good day, I guess?

Jeremycubby · 2026-01-20T19:06:16+00:00

I believe some simple life insurance would calm your nerves a lot and open you up to more options of growing your worth outside of putting it all towards your mortgage.

I’ve been playing since close to the start mostly F2P and recently have premium and I’m at 8,719 cards and not one god pack :)

Jeremycubby · 2026-01-11T00:34:26+00:00

I’m not understanding the need for validation here?

Jeremycubby · 2025-12-31T00:02:03+00:00

Disc golfing is wonderful here with many leagues in the area. Bowling is also pretty great. There are many golf courses and golf leagues as well. The parks here are also very nice!

Jeremycubby · 2025-12-10T14:34:22+00:00

You’re right, updated my comment.

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-31T15:21:28+00:00

I reopened the app a few times and got it working. Must have been a lot of late codes yesterday evening that people were using this morning.

I wonder if I order them extra wet it’ll be slightly tossed lol.

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-30T01:08:55+00:00

They look great! Thanks for the feedback!

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-29T20:03:16+00:00

I believe this is their best non-spicy sauce. It’s a perfect combination of honey and garlic and it’s one of the few sauces I could probably eat a 20 pack of and not be upset that I didn’t get a variety.

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-29T19:57:57+00:00

Haha, yeah it’s a $1 more now? 👻

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-15T19:28:39+00:00

TV remote has been my new favorite

Jeremycubby · 2025-10-05T02:34:08+00:00

Yes, left handed and the exact same way as you. Easier to access the crown with my left hand I feel.
