What’s the scoop on Robinhood?

So Robinhood’s all about giving the little guy a helping hand.

That’s why Robinhood’s ditched trading commissions. They won’t be taking $10 off the top of your trades like traditional outlets do.

The high-tech nature of the company gives it less overhead, meaning they don’t need to impose costly fees on their customer base. They just want to keep their traders happy and trading.

The Robinhood app is also super intuitive and streamlined, making it incredibly easy to manage your portfolio on the go, anywhere and anytime.

What’s this Robinhood free stock referral bonus I’ve heard about?

Robinhood’s got a sweet deal you won’t want to miss out on.

If you use the company’s latest free stock referral bonus, you’ll be entered into a pool of users where free shares will be randomly assigned—these shares could be worth anywhere between $2.50 and $200!

Which share you get is up to the luck of the draw, as shares are distributed throughout the pool randomly and based on what’s popular on that given day.

To use this referral bonus, you’ll want to click here and then head over to Robinhood’s site where you’ll sign up and claim your bonus.

After that, invite friends to the app to earn more shares!

You can win shares from companies like Apple, Ford, Sprint, and many more.
