Topic: How do I invest?

Anonymous A started this discussion 3 years ago #103,671

I’m looking up how to invest, but how come it’s always having to jump through fucking hoops just to buy stocks.

Is Fidelity a good broker? I heard Robinhood is kind of controversial.

What are you looking to do?

If you are looking to invest for retirement, open a vanguard account and buy an index fund. If you are looking to make a quick buck and have money to burn, invest in some undervalued meme company and yolo or something idk.

Your bank might make it easy if you already have an account. You can make an investment account that allows easy transfer of funds from your first account.

> having to jump through fucking hoops just to buy stocks.

You can set up an Etrade account in under 30 minutes. Once you've set it up buying and selling stocks is actually faster and easier than ordering on Amazon. The "hoops" are pretty damn small.

> Is Fidelity a good broker?

All the major brokers are pretty much the same just like the major banks are. There's no huge difference between banking at Wells Fargo vs BOA vs Chase. Etrade vs Fidelity vs TD Ameritrade vs whatever is the same deal. Just flip a coin or pick the one with the prettiest logo or the catchiest advertising jingle.
