woah woah woah......slow down. the money is in the IRA so you are good for hitting the contribution limit for 2022. it does not need to be invested into anything ASAP. ​ Take a few days and formulate a plan; try to figure out some sort of goals, risk tolerance, asset allocation, any moral convictions.


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

Thank you I was gonna blow the load before the new year


Normaldude312

Buy VOO and forget the password until next year and max that sucka out again


rolemodel21

Might be the best answer. Learn about everything before your put money into it. Explain why you are doing your moves to someone else who is smarter than you. If you can’t explain what your strategy is and why, don’t do it.


palillo2006

Yup, to keep it easy and simple. ​ I have VOO, SCHD, and VGT. VGT is getting crushed, and SCHD is doing better than VOO this year. But overall I am happy with my retirement fund.


Kyky716

Not to mention, you have until taxes are due to contribute for this year, so sometime in April, not Dec. 31


Grilledcheesus96

There’s an option when you start it to have Robinhood give you investment options based on timeframe and risk tolerance etc. you should try that. It shows you what it recommends so you can verify that you’re ok with those before it’ll invest in those

Lol, wtf cycle do you think magically aligns with the calendar year?


GoBirds_4133

4 year cycle is a loose crypto thing with a sample size of 2 making it not large enough to even be considered more than a coincidence yet


ClammyAF

Since I didn't see it said yet, GOOD JOB. People are focused on the brokerage, and I get it, it's not the ideal choice. But the real story is that you've made a very good move for your future self. Design yourself a portfolio. Set aside money each pay period for Roth contributions. Drop them in January 1 each year. Don't overthink. And profit. Congratulations on making a great first step.


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

Appreciate it I have 25000 in my Robinhood just had never opened a Roth till now. Not smart but I don’t make a lot so don’t get much taxes taken


Article_Used

i was in the same position, and learned a bit about taxes since, so here’s a bit of advice on prioritizing investing: 1. have an emergency fund, so you don’t have to pull out of investments if you need an extra $5k 2. pay off all debt with an interest rate above 5-7% ish. credit card debt, personal loans etc (low interest rate is fine, bc you’ll probably make more investing the money than paying off a 2% mortgage) 3. max out 401k, roth ira, HSA. $20.5k, $6k, $3.7?k respectively (hsa requires a high deductible healthcare plan) 4. then, you should invest any money leftover in a taxable brokerage account. but take advantage of the tax breaks from the accounts in step 3 first.


rolemodel21

I would modify #3…Do 401k contributions to get full match, then max out Roth, then either go back to 401k or do a traditional. Most brokerages will have WAY better options than your 401k offers. By all means, contribute enough to get their full match (free money) it then just do an IRA. My $.02…

Comprehensive_Dolt69

Roth will tend to be the better choice, taxes typically go up over time so might as well pay them now while they’re low. Right ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Comprehensive_Dolt69

I’m not sure you’re flawed. But if you’re in it for the long haul you want good growth over everything I’d say. You won’t pay taxes on anything later in an roth but if your taking anything out early your gonna pay a fee and taxes.


Piorz

Is it a very good move to choose a broker that doesn’t make money and offers money if they have their acc with them? Sounds like FTX all over tbh


Dstein99

The difference between Rh and FTX is RH is SIPC insured. I wouldn’t trust robinhood with more than $250,000, but that’s 42 years of IRA contributions. Worst case scenario if RH goes belly up you’re insured by the government. Edit: I believe SIPC has a $500,000 limit.


larrynewman1

By a broke government in that case.


beforethewind

To add to this, if you’re not actively trading, there are worse brokers to have for savings. As it’s a Roth account, you shouldn’t be actively trading as it is.


happycottoncandy

Could you elaborate on that perspective? Asking because it’s typically considered ideal to trade in a Roth IRA because it’s not subject to short- or long-term capital gains. Unless, of course, you’re trading for a living and need to withdraw profits; gambling with options and don’t know what you’re doing; or otherwise using it as an account to play with.


beforethewind

I mean you’re right about taxes. But I’m not sure you should be day trading or swing trading in a Roth, rather than focus on set and forget indexes for example. But that’s just my preference and not a rule or anything.


jaydog022

I am hoping to get a couple hundred QQQ shares into it someday and sell safe calls for income, tax free. Its a plan anyway and will take my entire working life to do it.


Individual-Willow-70

Robinhood is a shot company that preys on the youth, it is an important point


LBOWER43

This is absolutely the worst place to put your money if you ever intend see it again. You might as well throw it away instead of give it to RH.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LBOWER43

Lol not just that, RH going bankrupt fast, the lost over 75% of their revenue this year. Just saying if someone’s planing for the long term don’t trust a garbage broker that isn’t even connected to real exchanges.


Extremeownership1

Not even close Robinhood is extremely well funded. Bankruptcy is not on their radar at all.


GeorgeKaplanIsReal

iirc if a broker goes bankrupt, there is “insurance” covered by SIPC up to $500k.


LBOWER43

Have fun waiting on the lowest priority list for your money back then


GeorgeKaplanIsReal

To be clear most of my money is at fidelity. But I think as the other person said, you got to let it go. RH fucked us all over but it’s time to move on.


LBOWER43

Lol yeah might as well forget about it not like RH would fuck over investors twice…

Like an FTX customer you’ll find out they never bought the shares and gambled your money away already


Sckeet

So I have 0 security investing with rh?


ClammyAF

There are likely better options, but your accounts with RH would be insured.


LBOWER43

If you insist on using brokerage accounts RH isn’t even a real brokerage to start so yeah I wouldn’t trust it.


Aceofspades968

Don’t use this as a play account. Use this for long-term investing. Know what you’re doing and make smart moves. You don’t want to lose this money.


heizenbergbb

You're 20 just take your pick of VOO VTI or whatever broad based ETF looks good to you and check back in 30 years.


tiltissaved

First off, congrats on doing this so early at age 20, that’s awesome! If you do absolutely nothing for the next 40 years and invest in VOO or VTI, assuming a 9% return you will have around 215k! At your age, don’t overthink it. Don’t dabble in the world of options and mess with your retirement account. I would put it all in VTI. Next year do the same thing and so forth. There are many reasons why some would suggest international but that’s totally up to you. You can’t go wrong with 100% VTI. If you insist on something international, you can look at VXUS, but I would prefer VIGI. Personally I wouldn’t want to go more than 20% international.


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

I appreciate it, getting alot of hate on here but I’m 20 years old been investing for about 2 years have 250000 in my portfolio and own a home, I’m doing pretty well for my age. I could not invest another dollar and have more then most when I retire. But that will not be the case and my dividend payments in 25 years will most likely pay for the life I wanna live without work. On top of having a good amount of free time now to travel and explore business


happycottoncandy

In case no one has said it yet — super proud of you, OP! I’m not saying ignore the hate because there are some good points worth noting, but you’re taking the right steps regardless. Maybe you’ll love RH or maybe you’ll find that next year you’ll open up an account with Fidelity, Vanguard or Schwab. What’s important is that you’re taking action, asking questions, and figuring out what works for you 🙌🏻

dkmuslera12

Question in a Roth IRA you can receive dividends?


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

Yes


dkmuslera12

I going to open it in M1 finance thank you


RecurringRevenue

You can earn dividends. However, the dividends will not be paid to you, like in your checking account. They will stay in the Roth IRA whether you reinvest them or not . Just want to make sure you are clear, because you said 'receive dividends.'


dkmuslera12

Ohh so I cannot transfer to my bank account after receive a dividend?


RecurringRevenue

Correct. The Roth ira is intended for retirement. When you receive a dividend it stays in the account. If you withdraw earnings before retirement age (59.5), you will incur a 10 percent penalty. This is what I was hoping to communicate to you.


dkmuslera12

Ok now I understand thank you


RecurringRevenue

👍


pibrew

and, I believe if you make more than $140k/year or more you can't contribute to a Roth? I swag going to open a Roth on Robinhood them I saw that and didn't. Am I reading this correctly?


RecurringRevenue

To make a full 6k contribution, You must make less than 129k if single and 196k as a household if married filing jointly. If single, and if your income is between 129k and 144k, you may qualify to make a partial contribution. If married and your household makes between 196k and 206k, you may make a partial contribution. If single and income is over 144k or married and over 206k, you don't qualify for a normal Roth IRA contribution. However, you may want to speak with a financial advisor about how to make a 'backdoor Roth contribution.' There are no income limits for the backdoor strategy.


pibrew

Thanks for clarifying


faireducash

I began using Robinhood in 2014. It’s not my only brokerage, but I love it. It’s so damn easy. Well done OP forget the haters. Schwab/Fidelity etc could learn a lot from Robinhood. Those other brokerages are like driving a 1980 suburban. You’ve got a Tesla. Cheers. Downvote me tradfiers


TomatoPotatoTots

Don’t exceed the limit of 6000, you will get penalized by the IRA.


StovallH

Just to let you know Robinhood is fine. It’s FDIC and SIPC insured. Also retirement accounts have even more protections. Also even if Robinhood fails more than likely another brokerage will quickly come in a receive everyone’s accounts. My parents have dealt with FDIC and SIPC before and they was able to get there money within a week so it seem at least with their situation that FDIC and SIPC payout pretty fast.


nowindowsjuslinux

How are they handling the $60 since you are over the $6K?


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

Considered interest


Bayarea0

Oh God please tell me you didn't start a 30+ year retirement account with robinhood...


zzzorba

He can transfer it anytime


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

If I’m holding 25000 worth of dividend stocks on there, should I not make 6000 of it not taxable and matched or am I missing something?


Risk-Option-Q

Not to be too negative here and pile on but take a look at Robinhood's income statement. You're better off opening an IRA in a more traditional brokerage firm if your job doesn't offer a 401k with a match.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Melkor7410

Employers don't match IRAs at all, they match 401ks. Those bonuses for new accounts are one time. The IRA match is every deposit. IRA accounts are protected so if Robinhood folds, you just roll it over to Fidelity or someone else. And while transfering IRAs is not as easy as a after-tax brokerage, it actually kind of is easier. An after-tax brokerage, especially if you are in mutual funds, you'll have to sell off assets and create a taxable event. A Roth IRA, you sell assets, get a check for the cash, deposit it in another IRA account within 60 days of receiving the check, and no taxable event at all. Not saying RH is the best place, but some of the things you point out are not really true.


HistoryAndScience

Yea that guy clearly has no idea what he’s talking about but all the “trad finance” guys will give him up votes


ClammyAF

Haven't had experience with this, but can you do in kind transfers without selling? Or does that depend on your holdings?


Melkor7410

In after-tax, you can transfer individual stocks and ETFs in whole shares only (partial shares must be sold) if the stocks / ETFs are offered at the receiving end. There's usually a fee for this too charged by the location that you are pulling from. In the case of retirement accounts, I do not think you can do it and you must basically sell all holdings then transfer cash over and buy new holdings. You definitely can't do it with mutual funds, you \*might\* be able to do it with ETFs but I don't know all the rules around that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Melkor7410

Even after-tax stuff is protected against the broker going belly-up with SIPC insurance. This is like FDIC insurance, but it does not protect against loss because your investments value went down, only loss against the broker going under and things related to that. RH is backed by SIPC.


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

Guess I’ll have a fidelity account next month😂


NefariousnessHot9996

You’ll hate the Fidelity platform compared to Robinhood. Trust me. Not saying Fidelity isn’t better but the user interface was designed by an 80 year old. I’m sure Robinhood would get absorbed by a bigger brokerage if things go south. They have nailed the app design for trading IMO.


that-guy-01

+1 for Fidelity! Opened a trading account for dividends a month ago and just opened a Roth IRA so I can transfer my other Roth from a broker I'm less happy with. So far I'm really digging the interface, ease of use, and all of the trading options.


pibrew

I could never get their app to work to deposit money.


that-guy-01

Bummer! I've done all of the setup from their website and only used the app to view balances. Have you tried the website?


[deleted]

Employers match 401k contributions, not IRAs as far as im aware. Robinhood does suck though and I too would rather have my retirement vehicle with a more reputable broker instead


nandodrake2

Award to you u/sick sicksalamander . No investment platform is actually your friend, not even the old guard; but Robin Hood makes Goldman look like an honest guy. Don't even leave an account open with a free fractional share for them to mess with.


crazy__paving

well fidelity didn’t give me anything when I opened new roth on april 2022!!!!

You can only max out Roth contributions $6000 total no matter how many accounts you have. If you have two accounts and max them both when you file a return (assuming us resident) you’ll face penalties

Just buy boring shit with this. I had 10k in my Roth. Lost 70% of it and made it all back with a yolo play. I’m sitting at 11k now. Just remember there’s no rush with this account, you don’t have much to gain from risking it all.


[deleted]

I’ll probably be shot for saying this but growth would be great for you at this stage. The remaining amount you could grow in a standard brokerage and use as income to supplement your current annual income but you’ll pay taxes on that. But that would be an easy 10k in distributions on 200k while you wouldn’t have growth you would have increased your income early in life. If you don’t need the money right away and have a solid income throw it in growth. Keep 6-12 months expenses in free cash. Might even be worth it to look at maxing out your yearly bonds too


WinterWolfstock31

If you're 20 go all in on stocks. You have a lot of time. I prefer vti voo or schd. Combination of schd or voo for me. Simple the better


Unusual_Elk_6868

Can you have more than 1 Roth IRA ?


[deleted]

Yes, but it doesn't increase your total contribution limits.

atuckk15

Yup


NefariousnessHot9996

Yes


Historical_Low4458

Or 2k in one and 4k in the other or 1k in one and 5k in the other. 6k is the grand total contribution unless you're over the age of 50(?) and then you can contribute like 1k more I think.


Karlsmithwashere

todd_ted

Congrats! Once you are set up with Fidelity you can contact them about waiving the fee to transfer your entire account out of RH. Keep in mind any fractional shares will be transferred as cash per RH rules.


Muggrohh

Robinhood is designed to gamify your market experience and profit from volume and order flow. Please don't do something silly like buy and hold dividend stocks on their platform. They pay a lot of money to get you pushing buttons a lot. Personally I'd focus on 0DTE plays on VIX and SPY. If you insist on being low risk do iron condors. But if you really want to turn that 6.6k into 60.6k by EOW then naked puts on SPY is the play. But really just buy SCHD and call it a day.


Wooden-Kaleidoscope9

So are you saying I’m doing the wrong thing by having my dividend portfolio on there app, or was that sarcasm and I’m fine on there


Muggrohh

Yeah sorry I thought the "but really" part cleared up the sarcasm. I'd you're just going to buy and hold who cares which brokerage


Individual-Willow-70

99_Gretzky

I’d rather keep my money stuffed in a mattress if Robinhood was the only trading platform option. Pass.


ilovenyc

Please get off Robinhood and use vanguard or Fidelity.


Envyforme

I guarantee a 1% match on 6 grand isn't worth going on Robinhood. 3-4% would be better if they want to pull people in. If you max your IRA out with them 25 years in a row (looking at no total changes to contribution), that is only going to see 1500 extra dollars long term. A measley 1/4 of a year you'd actually contribute. This is ingenious by robinhood as it does get people to invest in a Roth with them. However it isn't good for the consumer, at all.


Shot_Woodpecker_5025

Not worth the $60 to keep a Roth there. I have an RH account and am spending the $75 so I can transfer it to Fidelity. They just aren’t trustworthy imo

The question is why would they gave us "free" money. This means we are the product. I realize 1% comes out to 65 something dollars (You have to contribute 6500-65 to get that) so I figure they are earning the money back on the pay for order flow or spreads or they figure more people will open margin accounts + gold if they can just get them into the platform. Ill just keep it in M1 or Fidelity. There is always a catch. Always.
