This article is rather interesting... buying fractional shares. Used to be one got them when reinvesting dividends. Cash-out a bit of a problem, as the full standard fee was applied ($25 back 15+years ago), so all fractionals among all investments was the only way to go. That would also include the selling of non-round lots (< 100 sh.). I had to do this when leaving the REITs in '05. But now, with ridiculous pricing of tech stocks that will not split, fractionals have caught on. Pick a stock and join the round-lot pool. The article actually does call it 'democratizing the stock market', which it is.

Robinhood is under investigation now
ONM, I have to tell you I mention you quite a bit when talking to people, without using your name, though I only know your first name anyway.
It comes up that gamblers turned to stocks as a form of gambling, with a surge when casinos got closed down, and so I will talk about Robinhood and how they went after this market, and that I know someone who did exactly all these gambling-like activities there. I still marvel that they got you into short selling and buying on margin.

the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder
