You want only millionaires investing in securities? I don't have any right to invest because I am poor? I am not against regulations, I think all existing regulations are perfectly adequate to protect inexperienced investors from thems

What? I put on orders to buy two funds in Fidelity IRA and they still haven't closed my position and no explanation of what's going on. Robinhood actually sent me an email and follow-up on outages, even though it didn't affec
