There is nothing more exciting than hearing the word FREE – whether it’s getting a t-shirt at a concert, a mug at the career fair, or even a free burrito. But, as a wealth coach, the most exciting free thing I always search for is how to get FREE STOCKS!
With the coronavirus pandemic causing massive unemployment around the country, we witnessed tons of non-investors sign up on various online trading platforms, especially on Robinhood, where the number of new users surged to claim their free stock and begin trading.

While Robinhood has gained massive popularity over the past year, I have decided to switch to Fidelity.
No, I did not simply sign up for a free stock on Robinhood and have several reasons to back up my decision.
If you would like to learn how to transfer your portfolio from Robinhood to Fidelity, here’s a YouTube video where I explain how you do that easily without losing any of your free stocks.
Why Did I Switch from Robinhood to Fidelity?
Here are my 4 biggest reasons why I switched from Robinhood to Fidelity.
Robinhood is Unreliable
With circle breakers causing Robinhood to crash on multiple occasions, I was weary of using it as my primary broker as I can’t be relying on a system that has bugs or technical failures that prevent me from trading stocks.
How Robinhood Makes Money
As a commission-free brokerage and trading platform, Robinhood makes money by not giving your first priority on your buy and sell orders. Therefore, as an investor, you will not be getting the most optimal price when buying or selling stocks on Robinhood.
Slow Deposit and Withdrawal Process
It typically takes 5-7 business days to simply deposit money into Robinhood and withdraw your cash from it, making it extremely inefficient and time-consuming.
Lack of Support
With Robinhood’s multiple technical failures, there were a lot of angry customers. Much to their disappointment, Robinhood does not have a hotline number to resolve these issues and they take extremely long to respond to emails, forcing me to bid goodbye to Robinhood.
Now that I’ve listed my top 4 reasons for switching to Fidelity, you’re probably wondering – what if Fidelity has the same problems like Robinhood.
