    E*TRADE
    During the COVID pandemic, the airline companies were taking a big hit on travel and I saw this as a great opportunity to invest in airline stock because its value in the market had dropped tremendously. I used this opportunity to invest in multiple airline stocks through e-trade by buying the stock at an all-time low for airline stock. It was a great investment for me in the long term.

    I use YCharts to perform my client reviews. It helps me demonstrate the performance and decision making process. It helps me show the deep dive of investment selection, and clients can see the thought process that goes into investment decision making.

    robinhood is similar to e-trade but they are geared more to bitcoin and companies that may not be offered on E*TRADE because they are off-market companies.

    Return on Investment
    E*TRADE
    • Limit how much you want invest.
    • This is an open trade website and there is a risk of losing your money based on your investments.
    • If you make some sound investments and keep yourself within a budgeted spending limit there is the opportunity to make money on e-trade.
