On the day in question, Robinhood posted to say this is what it was doing, and it explicitly stated that it was doing so to protect its customers from volatility. It absolutely said nothing at all about doing it because of regulatory or other requirements.
Robinhood has since deleted that post from its site.
And no matter how you cut the cake, if you put your money into Robinhood then you risk losing it when Robinhood changes the rules.
Just a reminder that robinhood prevented people buying certain stocks while allowing them to sell, causing many people to lose money, but supporting the short selling hedge funds, whilst claiming to be “investment for the people”.
Possibly they are rushing to IPO before facing court.
I would neither buy shares IN Robinhood nor would I buy shares using a Robinhood account.
Not by some stupid elite standard, but by your own standard.
Stop comparing yourself to others. Be yourself, everyone else is taken.
Who cares about stupid elite schools and companies? Go live.
