You are the MVP this week. Didn’t screw up my orders once. I love you, but your app sucks and makes me want to wear reading glasses and sign up for AARP.

Robbinghood users are leaving and looking for a new platform.

This is your chance to shine! Get some good designers and FE engineers. Your order execution backend is already better than RH. Throw in a good “discovery” product and you are golden!

    Bogleheads want investors not highschoolers.

    Vanguard was pretty lagging on the technology front. But they have improved their technology stack in the last 5 years. They still have work to do on the client facing side.

    Their principle is “trade less, look at your stock once a year, and become a millionaire.”

    A slick UI may make you trade more, and lose money faster, quicker.

    A bad UI is a feature. Not a bug!!!!

    App is bad and their site is even worse. I agree with the above comment about their user base. But still, that’s no excuse for such badly designed UI

  • The best part about Vanguard is their ownership structure. While there might be lower fees elsewhere, at Vanguard the company is owned by its funds. The funds are owned by shareholders AKA us.
