- ithinkinstereo 7y agowebull and thinkorswim will probably be the two biggest beneficiaries today.
- nscalf 7y agoOne of the biggest lessons here is not to use tech-forward brokers. I see a lot of people talking about how swapping from robinhood to webull is ridiculous, and I honestly agree. I'm personally thinking of going TD or thinkorswim.
- ithinkinstereo 7y agoYep, fuddy-duddy tech = safe tech.
- addcninblue 7y agoNote that thinkorswim is owned by TD, so it's effectively the same platform.
- skinnymuch 7y agoGoing to Webull seems super silly if the issue is mobile/web 2.0+ startup brokers.
- bostonfincs 7y agoI see think or swim and TD/Fidelity being biggest beneficiaries webull seems like more of the same.
- inferiorhuman 7y agoIf they really went all in on risky options contracts... Burger King.
- filoleg 7y agodepends on what kind of option contracts they were buying. I loaded up on a bunch of calls last week and am currently sitting here happy as an elephant.
- kevas 7y agoThink or swim most likely
- che_shirecat 7y agoI jumped to Etrade a while back and it's been a relatively positive experience. Power Etrade is garbage though - consistently crashes during spike traffic times
