Now the stock is way above my purchase price and my order is still not showing up. I don't know what is happening with them today.
I've never used Robin Hood before, but why use it over some of the other trading options available? TD Ameritrade is pretty much free to use, and it would seem like it has just as much if not more to offer. [Reply]

RH has some cool features, including free stock. I have had good luck with it until today. It kept showing server error. Hopefully, they get it straightened out soon.
I have been with TD for a long time, so I will be using it as well. :-) [Reply]

Attempting to time the market is a mistake for a average investor.

This thread continues to get shittier and shittier. [Reply]

We’ve been through several presidents in both parties, several outbreak scares, a bunch of wars and a real impeachment and the market has done nothing but go up.
Yep, I'm just closing my eyes and fingers in ears. Riding this through. Today was the largest gain in one day in the history of the stock market. This virus is nationwide right now. It's just another flu being sensationalized by the media.
The stock market will come roaring back. After all it's driven by greedy people wanting to make shit loads of money. Like us.:-) [Reply]

And you can possibly and most likely miss some of the biggest market moving days which will effectively cut your returns in half. You need to do some research about how a few days missed in the market impact your returns in a massive way.
This is all temporary and unless you get lucky you will miss the bottom and you very well may have sold at the bottom. [Reply]

Dude, you missed at getting 5% back today. You sold at the worst time, when it was going down. Wanting to get out or trim back is fine but at least do it on an up day.
The market will have some more down days. We may have hit bottom, we may have not. I'd start buying back in on down days and hope you don't miss out.
A lot of people sold out at the end of 2018 only to find out they sold at the bottom because the Fed reversed course and the market pretty much v-bottomed not leaving much room to buy back in without missing out on some key days. [Reply]
