Robinhood Has Lured Young Traders, Sometimes With Devastating Results
“Robinhood has made the financial markets accessible to the masses and, in turn, revolutionized the decades-old brokerage industry,” Andrew Reed, a partner at Sequoia, said after last month’s fund-raising.
Robinhood does not force people to trade, of course. But its success at getting them do so has been highlighted internally. In June, the actor Ashton Kutcher, who has invested in Robinhood, attended one of the company’s weekly staff meetings on Zoom and celebrated its success by comparing it to gambling websites, said three people who were on the call.
Some have visited Robinhood’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., in recent years to confront the staff about their losses, said four employees who witnessed the incidents. This year, they said, the start-up installed bulletproof glass at the front entrance.
Me he quedado con lo más morboso claro, pero es brutal como están haciendo un dineral usando las operaciones de los ingenuos que usan la aplicación. Hacer accesible la especulación a las masas, aplicaciones que tiene aspecto de juego, pidiendo créditos para operar, es la receta de una buena burbuja con el dinero infinito de los bancos centrales. Estamos en ese punto como la anécdota del limpiabotas que tiene acciones, solo que parece que hoy en día el limpiabotas se planta con un arma en las oficinas con un “where is my fucking money!”.
