Free is free
Robinhood is a pioneer of offering free stuff to investors. It was one of the first brokerages to offer commission-free trading in 2013. Now it's offering "free stock" (well, one free share of stock) to new account holders.
Random isn't random
Microsoft, Visa, and Johnson & Johnson are great companies. When I signed up for my Robinhood account, Johnson & Johnson's shares were trading just under $150/share, and Microsoft and Visa were at about $200/share.
Something isn't nothing
As you probably guessed, I didn't get a $200 share of Visa. Instead, I'm now the proud owner of a share of Helix Energy Solutions Group ( NYSE:HLX). I had to laugh, because Helix is an oilfield services company, an underperforming sector I've been saying investors should avoid. Lucky me!
Nothing isn't something
Robinhood isn't alone in advertising a too-good-to-be-true perk for signing up. Brokers Merrill Lynch and TradeStation both advertise cash rewards for new accounts, of "up to $600" and "up to $5,000," respectively. That sounds much better than a lousy $3.60 share of stock!
The deal isn't bad
Earning 3.6% in two days is better than earning 0.5% in 90 days (Merrill) or 1% in 270 days (TradeStation). And it's certainly better than earning nothing because you don't have thousands of dollars to invest.
