Robinhood to pay $70M for 'systemic supervisory failures'
I always find surprising that Robinhood was able to build such a large business with such mediocre customer support.<p>I switched to Charles Schwab and just the fact that there's a 24/7 phone number compensates for the lack of simplicity.
I used to think that I wanted the simplicity of something like Robinhood. But I have learned to appreciate the complexity of Schwab. The reality is that behind Robinhood's simplicity there's a lack of sophistication and process in their operation.<p>I commend what they built, but Robinhoood it's too exposed to the cross winds of retail trading and regulatory scrutiny. 
I feel that by having my investments in Robinhood, I'm adding some sort of risk multiplier that has nothing to do with the nature of my investments. It has to do mainly with how amateur-ish their brokerage operation feels.
