Summary
US equities opened on a positive note, but the gains were shaky, with the spx turning negative in late morning. The afternoon saw a low of 2637, and then clawing back upward. Despite sig' weakness in the Trans' and R2K, volatility remained in melt mode, settling in the mid 20s.

Robinhood
I've occasionally considered Robinhood as a possible broker to use, but I never liked the idea that I'd be having my stocks/options hosted with a relatively new company. There is a lot to be said for a brokerage with a history spanning decades. Most of all though, very few good products/services are free.

T+2.18>2.26 would make for a very appropriate gif, for those inclined.
