One Dollar Makes You Holler!

I’ve posted a few things about Robinhood users gambling. I think this graph shows it most clearly. Here are the number of positions held by Robinhood users with a share price under $1.

Number of Positions with Share Price under $1

These positions currently represent close to 10% of all investments by Robinhood users. Cheaper than a PowerBall ticket I guess!

Thank Goodness for No Commissions

Yesterday I documented that the number of Robinhood accounts has soared. Here is the annualized position turnover of Robinhood users.

Annualized Robinhood Position Turnover, red line 30 day average

Before this year, position turnover was somewhere around 100-200%, which is not that much different than most actively managed mutual funds.

However, since March, turnover has soared – hitting close to 1000% annualized. Today the 30 day average is close to 400%.

Again, this is not investing. This is trading. We’ll see later whether the RH users or the house is winning.
