Downvote the hell out of me, but as a relatively rookie, I have been using Robinhood for a year. During last months shite storm, I opened a E*Trade account. I don’t like it. Many many times I try to by 50 shares and it re-configures for 5000 (just an example) and then I get an insufficient funds error. I also like the instant deposit on Robinhood. By the stock today, start the withdrawal today, funds settle in 2-3 days.

If you're a new user to fidelity it's going to take longer to get funds settled in the beginning. Eventually you won't have to wait as long after they've taken data on your "trading patterns".

I had to wait almost 2 weeks to get my funds settled before I could make any stock purchases when I first opened an account on fidelity.

I think fidelity has a wide range of stock available. Way better than robinhood in that department. Robinhood looks a little nicer but it's not that much better.
