Submission + - $0 commission stock brokerage backed by Google

Submitted by thrillseeker on Saturday December 14, 2013 @03:02PM

thrillseeker writes: A Google Ventures backed brokerage is offering $0 commisson per trade in an invitation-only sign up process. Per their FAQ they say they will require no minimum balance and describe how they will make their money: Robinhood will offer margin trading as well as API access. We also plan to offer premium services for active investors in the future. Robinhood is venture-funded by Google, Andreessen Horowitz and many others, which affords us the freedom to focus on building a wonderful brokerage experience rather than short-term profits.

A word other than negotiation is in order if American taxpayers ended up footing the bill.

it's one thing for governments, who have some legitimacy in what they're doing, but have other people doing it ... it's not going to happen

Well Mr. Schmidt - from where do you think governments derive their legitimacy?

One should not have to make an effort to maintain security "in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" - breaking that expectation of privacy should be what requires extra effort and explicitly specified reason.

Supposedly the next 15" Samsung Series 9 will be retina-type reslution - present version I have is 1600x900 and it's pretty nice, though I think the vertical screen angle could use improvement.
