On one hand, it has been praised for helping introduce many younger investors to the art and science of wealth-creation through stock markets while, on the opposite side of the spectrum, it has been criticized as being instrumental in creating an era of ‘cult stocks’ and get-rich-quick pump-and-dump schemes.
Yet, those could be the least of Robinhood’s concerns at the moment.
Robinhood’s zero-app trading model is now facing severe criticism, and has even been compared with prominent internet companies such as
