RobinHood Options Trading: Why You Will LOSE Money with RobinHood - YouTube

RobinHood is bad and why the RobinHood app is very bad for all of its all the
[12]
people who use it. So my gut feeling and I don't have no idea about the statistic
[18]
that I'm about to throw out but my gut feeling is that the majority of the
[21]
people who use RobinHood actually LOSE money and the reason is when you go into
[26]
the RobinHood groups on Facebook you see that all of these people who are
[31]
using RobinHood to trade are buying options. That's like, well it's not the dumbest
[36]
thing possible they don't seem possible that you could do is like day trading or
[40]
following Tim Sykes and trying to trade penny stocks.
[50]
So I definitely think that buying
[54]
options is a better strategy than buying one of those other people's programs but
[59]
I definitely also believe that RobinHood is very bad for you because it
[63]
encourages you because you can't sell naked options but you can buy naked
[67]
options it encourages all these people to display the 20% or 30% of their trades
[75]
that are winners and they are not displaying the 70% to 80% of their trades
[81]
that are losers because they all want to feel social validation that they're
[85]
actually legitimate profitable traders and they have a good strategy. So instead
[90]
what they do is they go on Facebook and they show their winners some of them
[95]
they win like you know 100%-200% on a trade and then they
[100]
don't show all the losing trades the 70% to 80% of their trades that lose
[104]
money and all of them who buy options end up losing money it's just a question
[109]
of when they're gonna lose money so with enough occurrences the more you trade if
[113]
you trade something if you flip a coin and it only has a 30 or you know 20 or
[119]
30 percent probability of profit you might win the first two times that you
[124]
flipped the coin but if you flip that coin ten thousand times
[128]
you're making bets on every single coin flip eventually you're gonna run out of
[132]
money because the probability is against you so what options what on Robinhood
[137]
does is it encourages these people to post their winning trades and make it
[142]
look like buying options is actually a sustainable and viable strategy which we
[147]
all know that it's not and then other people get roped in because they think
[151]
that it's an easy way to make money and then these people have a continuation
[156]
and they persist in this fake strategy of buying options and then they
[161]
eventually all end up losing all their money. So forget like the other stuff
[165]
about you know even Robin Hood not allowing you to sell naked options or
[169]
the fact that they sell out their people and they get like worse fills. I mean to
[173]
me that is secondary to the fact that you have limited flexibility and you are
[180]
encouraged to purchase options and RobinHood does not, RobinHood actually
[185]
discourages people from selling naked options when selling naked options is
[190]
the best strategy that any individual retail investor can possibly have to be
[197]
consistently and predictably profitable in the stock market. So this is David
[202]
Jaffee with BestStockStrategy.com I would definitely stay away from using
[206]
the RobinHood trading app because it encourages you to establish very bad and negative
[213]
habits that you're then going to have to spend time to break them when you
[217]
transition to a real broker so most of the people on RobinHood they have
[222]
less than $10,000. I guess using Robin Hood when you have
[227]
like $2,000 - $3,000 dollars so you can make commission free trades is
[231]
fine but once you really once you want to get serious about making money and
[236]
you want to stop you know just caring about posting your bullshit trades to a
[241]
Facebook group so that other people can tell you how awesome you are when we all
[245]
know that you're not really making money once you really want to get serious
[248]
about upping your game and learning a verifiable skill and making consistent
[252]
money you really have to get off RobinHood because it's a bullshit platform
