I use robinhood even though I have a "proper" brokerage account. I would be happy to pay an $8 commission if I knew what I was getting for the money over what robinhood offered, but as far as I can tell I'd just be paying $8 to use a crappier UI to make my trades.



But as already mentioned, this entire portfolio can be constructed at Vanguard with commission-free trades. Their brokerage is better than Robinhood too (fractional shares for one, better execution)


> fractional shares for one, better execution

Thanks, this is the sort of answer I was looking for. I just added a brokerage account to my Vanguard 401k account, and I will use that for ETFs from now on.
