<p class="ql-block"><b>Why HOOD Is Suitable for Both Short-Term Trading and Long-Term Investing</b></p><p class="ql-block">This year, Robinhood (ticker symbol: HOOD) has become a star stock in the eyes of many investors. Its price swings are dramatic, with huge volatility that creates excellent opportunities for short-term traders. HOOD has tripled in value this year, and just a few weeks ago it surged to nearly $150. But right when many thought it would keep climbing, it quickly pulled back and dropped to $105 last week. Honestly, not many people dared to buy the dip at $105.</p><p class="ql-block">But that’s the interesting thing about the market: while people were hesitating, HOOD jumped 10% the day before yesterday, and the stock is now back to around $128. I bought my shares at $135, so I’m still “under water,” but I’m not worried at all.</p><p class="ql-block">Why? Because I have both Robinhood and Schwab accounts and understand the pros and cons of each platform. In terms of user experience, trading interface, and innovation speed, HOOD is far ahead of traditional Schwab. Looking at the future development of brokerage firms, I believe HOOD is not only excellent for short-term trading but also has strong potential as a long-term investment.</p><p class="ql-block">In fact, as long as the stock market exists, brokerage firms won’t collapse. Whether the market goes up or down, as long as people trade, brokers will continue to make money. Which specific companies perform well or poorly doesn’t really affect brokers that much, because their revenue comes from trading volume, assets under management, and various service fees. In other words, no matter how the market changes, brokers like Schwab and Robinhood can always find ways to generate profit, giving them a relatively stable business foundation.</p><p class="ql-block">HOOD’s strength lies in its ability to capture the younger generation and the mobile-investing trend. It updates its products quickly, offers a clean and intuitive interface, and continuously rolls out new features. Although its stock price is volatile, its long-term growth potential and business model remain highly promising.</p><p class="ql-block">For short-term traders, HOOD’s high volatility offers abundant opportunities. For long-term investors, HOOD’s innovation and growth prospects make it a compelling stock to hold.</p><p class="ql-block">Big ups and downs? Yes.</p><p class="ql-block">Good for short-term trading? Absolutely.</p><p class="ql-block">Worth holding long-term? I believe even more so.</p>
