I wanted to see what all of the hoopla about Robinhood was so I decided to open an account and invest $100. It was fairly simple to open an account but there are a few requirements. You need to fill in your name, address, social security number, employment information, email and phone. You will also need to verify the account through a separate email and then link a bank account to Robinhood so that you can transfer your funds to the account. At some point, I was asked additional investment questions regarding my risk, purpose of the account, and if I have any affiliation with a public traded company or financial brokerage account.

I decided to split the $100 evenly among four stocks as of Friday, October 23, 2020. I chose Tesla, Fitbit, Facebook, and Starbucks.

Follow along with me each week as I give you updates on my account to see if I am making money or losing money.
