    You have two different question. (1) Can you buy stocks for the company you work for? - There are some restrictions like you would have some close trading period around earning call. Eg I can trade GOOG stocks few days before earning date to few days after. Check your company policies for detailsZ (2) Can you use your company laptop? Yes but it is not recommended. It is not illegal but still can get you in trouble. Why can’t you install the Robinhood app on your person phone and trade from there?
