I switched from Fido to IBKR and I like IBKR a lot because they offer access to so many products and markets. But Schwab by far has best customer service

Idk why this got downvoted. If you’re not actively trading in and out of stuff it literally doesn’t matter who your broker is. Most won’t give you Ira deposit match, brokerage deposit match (not any more but they used to give 1% on every $ you invest), 4% interest rate on an account you can use as your every day check account because of their 3% cashback credit card that you can pay using that cash balance

Plus no fees with Robinhood

What about fdic protection, wouldn’t that cover any risk of losing your money?

Yeah for brokerage you have SIPC (like fdic), no fees (also txn fees would be negligible anyways in a buy and forget strat). Support I’ve always found to be stellar - Robinhood has some haters over “bad support” regarding GameStop, but they followed every regulation they’re supposed to and 99% of users aren’t going to be impacted. If you want to degen day trade you should be on IBKR anyways

Free +3% on your full portfolio, 4% interest on your checking account, active support, etc more than outweighs the reputational overhang of GME to me

Robinhood has a lot of good perks, has a very good and simple UI, great crypto access, and is just a greater starter platform for new investors. But I think robinhood gold is cool but isn’t as great as it seems. Plus I think their options platform is good but preys on people who think they can get rich quick trading such a complex product. Plus their PFOF system means you’re getting bad execution which doesn’t matter if you’re not trading much but usually people who use hood are trading a lot.
