Robinhood – Zero Commission Brokerage
Robinhood allows users to buy and sell stocks and ETFs for free. It’s extremely easy to use, almost too easy. Studies have shown that overtrading has a negative impact on returns, so tread lightly. I recommend using Robinhood for the ETF strategies discussed on this blog. Robinhood can now be used to trade select cryptocurrencies.
WiseBanyon – Free Robo-Advisor
WiseBanyon is the first free Robo-Advisor. They charge a small amount for tax loss harvesting and instant deposits. I recommend using the tax loss harvesting, especially if you’re in a higher tax-bracket, but don’t paying for instant deposits. Between the beautiful user interface, non-existent fees and the best performance of any of the major Robo-Advisors, it’s a no-brainer.
