Ah man, not again what's wrong with this app
What's up guys welcome back to the channel. My name is Bruce Wang in today's video
I want to go over some of the stuff that I hate about Robin Hood
I've been using Robin Hood for about five to six months now and there are some things about the Robin Hood app that just
Pisses me off Robin Hood is all is all great and everything if you're a beginner investor
but I just want to go over some of the stuff that might bother you as
It has certainly bothered me. I usually call this the Robin Hood challenge and right now we're on episode 21
I believe but every week I deposit $100 into my account and I invest that into stocks ETFs
Bonds on Robin Hood app and I try to grow my portfolio as much as I can. This is a weekly series
Let's just jump right into the portfolio before I update you guys with the Robin Hood portfolio
If you're brand new to the channel
Don't forget to subscribe and if you want to follow me along on the Robin Hood challenge
The links are in the description to the Robin Hood app

It's 100% free with the Robin Hood app only for u.s. Citizens only
So now that we got that out of the way, let's open some free stocks from my subscribers

Case teal
alright, so
I did not have any luck getting berkshire hathaway Apple or Microsoft stocks this week, but
Thank you guys for using my referral link. I'm sorry to say that this week. I didn't get anything rare like Microsoft or Apple
So but if you guys did let me know in the links below right now. My investing portfolio is worth two thousand five hundred and
$2.49. It's been a really bad two to three days
so right now my portfolio is down $20 and
77 cents in the past week. My portfolio is down
$50 about two percent of my portfolio for the month. Luckily. I'm still up 150
For three months. I'm up 170 for the year. I'm up
one hundred fifty six dollars and
Forty cents and all time. I am still down
Almost $200
so right now that is a
Seven point two five of my portfolio now that I've updated you with some of the numbers in my portfolio
I want to go over some of the stuff that I hate about Robin Hood
Robin Hood is trying to go for a very minimalistic look for their whole
user interface, but the graph doesn't make sense sometimes right, so I started
investing again reinvesting again around September and
if we look here to the left of September, you can see that I
Don't think I had any money in my portfolio at this time
but you can see that the numbers for my portfolio are still in the in the 2300 range and
I always wondered why why does that and then when I started to invest
My portfolio you can see went down for went up and down a few times and then in December 26
27 26 that went down a lot and now it's all the way back up to here and even in the all times
chart here in the in the back end you
can see that I
never had
$2,600 in my portfolio, but
It shows that I did have that much money. I actually don't remember how much that I did have in this folio
But still it's kind of confusing
Another thing about the charts is after I receive a deposit from the bank. The numbers always gets mixed up
For example if I received a $100 deposit today
this chart would say instead of
$160 up it would say
$260 up and I don't know
why does that I think it's just something in in the app that it can't tell the difference, but that's
Something that's always bothered me. The second thing that I hate about the Robin Hood app is how they organized all their stocks
I've noticed that the stocks are always changing
Their order right now
The stocks are in this order and if you refresh it or close the app and come back in
The stocks would be in another order
So that always causes me to jump around and look look around for the stocks and it takes a lot of times
Because I have so many stocks and and I know that there are some other youtubers that have even more stocks than I do
So and it takes them so long to scroll through their videos. It's kind of annoying
I wish that there was a better way for them to organize the stock
So and keep it in that order and stop changing it around
let me know in the comments if you received this type of
Experience where the stocks don't match up and you always is always getting mixed around in the comments below
Another annoying thing about Robin Hood app is there
News header right here below the chart
If I threw this all the time and I find that there are some articles that are weeks old
Like this article for example is one week old
I I'm even able to find some articles two weeks old as you can see right here
And I don't know what's the point of having two weeks
Two week old articles on on the breaking news feed here. And even this one is three weeks old
In the stock market three weeks is a long time and buy three week three weeks later
A lot of the news are already is already old news. So I don't understand why Robin Hood keeps three week old
articles on their
news feed here
It's just it's kind of confusing to me why they do that Robin Hood does a better job on their Search Search browser here
In their recent news all these articles are a lot newer the oldest one that I found was about
like less than a day old so
This is the more recent news and it makes a lot more sense. The fourth thing that I hate about Robin Hood is their cryptocurrency
Newsfeed or chat log. So right now I'm in the Bitcoin portfolio and I'm gonna scroll through some of the chats and
This chat does not make any sense. Why would I want to
Talk directly with you know other people a lot of these people are just shilling
You know
this is shilling something Robin Hood could easily change this into something that will provide us with a lot more information about the cryptocurrency and
How it's doing maybe even more graphs or whatnot that would help us
But this doesn't really help us at all. And I really wish that they just took this away
I think they want to provide the users some type of way to communicate with each other and develop a community within the app
so people were to stay on the app even longer but
It just doesn't make any sense to me why they would do that
A lot of this video was just me bashing Robin Hood and I still like using Robin Hood
Robin Hood is user friendly beginner friendly. So if you're brand new and you want to start
investing just little by little Robin Hood is a really great way to go and
Not only that they give they provide you a free stop when you do sign up
If you're using the link in the description, other than that, Robin Hood is always upgrading their platform
Implementing new things into it and I'm trying to improve it day by day week by week
I think ever since I've had Robin Hood I had to update it. At least weekly. They're always fixing bugs and whatnot
one other thing that I liked about Robin Hood, is that they
contacted me back very fast when I
When I emailed them about an issue that I was having
so that is why it's very easy for me to
Recommend the Robin Hood app to a lot of new investors that are asking me
How do I invest in this or that when I'm just a beginner and that's gonna be the end of the video guys
