[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am mostly in funds as well, but lately have been investing small amounts in things that interest me. Generally it's things that I hear on WTOP or read in NYT that catch my ear/eye, and I think "I bet that will do well." Recently invested in the group that owns Tim Hortons after hearing about a big expansion in MD, and this week invested in a boba tea place that went public this year that I read about in an article in the NYT this week. Small amounts, 5k here, 10k there, and I watch it to amuse myself. I only recently started doing this. The only other time I did it was years ago ... and it was Amazon ... so. I did well there, lol. Wish I'd invested more. [/quote]

Same but with 2k/5k here and there. Regular investing is automatic to S&P 500 etc and individual stock purchases are manual and mostly for fun. Eg, we bought some McDonalds stock so our son, who loves the place, could follow it. [/quote]

My daughter is in college and turning 21 in a week. I want to set up a stock account for her and put $2K in it. (We don’t have a lot of cash as paying for school mostly out of pocket.)She is a saver and I can see her sitting on it for a long time, or I wouldn’t consider this.

I have my own ideas, but interested in getting crowd info not AI sales junk. She’s into stem so would be cool for Birthday to get stem recommendations but looking into Tim Hortons. 
Do you recommend  Robinhood or Webull or …..?

The kids use Robinhood. I'm old and use Fidelity. I like their customer service and easy to use features. (I'm vibes pp)[/quote]
