That's true, Robinhood brought in tons of newbies of a different stripe. Younger, smarter than those who came at the dawn of online trading in the 90s. I've talked with a few of my son's friends who own stocks. They consider pennies to be poison. They buy some fad junk, but they have most of their savings in large cap legit stocks... like Apple. I've mentioned index funds and they know about them and are receptive to the idea of putting funds in them.
