One of my biggest complaints about Robinhood is having to wait three days between deposit and being able to trade funds. They've created a new app that allows you to "reinvest cash immediately after selling stock" and "buy up to $1000 of stock immediately after depositing from your bank".

Of course there is a huge waiting line to get the app. I'm glad they keep improving this app. It's been a great way to save up/invest small amounts over the last year or so.

Use the app as well. The 3 day wait is a pain, but I really hope they are able to keep it no commission after this update.

They will. The entire industry is heading in that direction from what little I have read on the subject.

So they are creating a new app instead of just updating the current?


That's dumb

I believe they are just updating it, not sure though.

It actually is unclear from the email they sent. I can't tell if there is a waiting list to download an"update" or a new app.

Seriously doubt they would create a new app. This should be incremental functionality to the current app.

Fractional share capabilities and Ronin Hood would be perfect.

yeah plus it feels a bit late in the game to be using invite codes...I know it's a push for more sign ups but most of us got people on board when they initially launched.

It may be both a push for sign ups and a "soft launch."

Don't mean to hijack but has anyone received a 1099 from robinhood for 2015?

You have to retrieve it from the app yourself and email it to yourself
