  • IMO don't use robinhood. They will prevent you from buying and selling random stocks at their whim. There was literally a congressional hearing about this just a few months ago.

    If you're new to the stock market, I don't recommend buying individual stocks. Try an index fund or ETF through Vanguard or Fidelity. These will track the overall market and expose you to less volatility while still getting healthy gains - and most individual stock pickers don't do better than the overall market anyway.

    Obligatory: This is not financial advice, and I am not a financial advisor.

      Yes. If you want to pick individual stocks, understand that it’s much closer to gambling than investing and keep it to 10% or less of your portfolio to scratch that itch

    • What Amazon said. And you typically also have more diversity of choice in a regular brokerage account than in your 401k.

      For example, if you believe a specific industry will grow more than others, but aren't enough of an expert to pick specific stocks in that industry, you can select an index or ETF that tracks just that industry. You can also choose if you prefer to track the total US market, total world market, fortune 500, etc. Usually a mix of these things is best, to spread your risk profile.

    First lesson is don't listen to stock pickers. 99+% chance they're wrong long term. Go with a low cost index fund instead.
