Most my investments are in IRAs and growth funds, but have played around with Robinhood. I am looking to pull all my funds out, but is there a decent service for this or go straight through a broker?

You cannot go wrong with Fidelity. Every possible stock, fund, etf, etc. Great customer service if you ever need it. Won’t crash on high volatility days.

I went to TD Ameritrade/ThinkorSwim and love it.

It was a bit of a learning curve from RH. So is Fidelity (I have an account there too). Terminology and data display are totally different. I had to learn new terminology and functions but it’s really not that difficult. RH did good about “dumbing” things down for the average joe.

Have vanguard and fidelity for retirement. Was using RH and SOFI invest for playing around but now I’m in the process of moving everything to E*TRADE after this weeks shenanigans.

I have TD right now and I like it for the most part, however it was horrible for a few days on the app during Gamestop/AMC craziness, was actually thinking of switching to Fidelity though so Im interested in seeing the answers you get.

It also depends if you’re mobile or desktop. ToS (through TD Ameritrade) desktop is legit. Either option will be good on mobile. Just a matter of preference. I didn’t realize how limited RH was until I moved on.
