Robinhood is a mobile trading platform for stocks, bonds, and options. The company has transformed the security trading industry by introducing commission-free trades and simplifying the trading process with its intuitive mobile app. However, as this\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u00a0video about Robinhood explains, the company and its products are not without controversy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
3<\/span>. <\/span>Have you ever traded financial securities? If so, which trading platform(s) have you used? If you have traded using another platform, how does your trading experience compare to that described in the video? If you have not traded securities, discuss how the Robinhood app affects your willingness to try trading.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n
<\/div>\r\n
4<\/span>. <\/span>At the end of the video, one interviewee viewed Robinhood as a gateway trading platform, but not a platform for serious traders. The other saw Robinhood as a means to level the playing field for all interested investors. What are your thoughts on the Robinhood trading app? Do you agree that option trading should be more restricted than the video implies?<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n\r\nAttribution:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThis chapter is from \u201cPrinciples of Finance\u201d \u00a0https:\/\/openstax.org\/books\/principles-finance\/pages\/1-why-it-matters<\/a> by Dahlquist and Knight.
