I don't know what Stash Invest is but I use Robinhood for swing trading. It's fine for investing because you won't get raped by commissions but god help you if you try to day trade on it.

>Any beginner resources you would recommend?
Read everything on Investopedia.

Yeah I'm usually over at /fit/ and /fa/ but now I want to get a little more serious about my money, aside from just throwing it all into my 401k

Do not for the love of god think of this as a way to supplement your income from day 1. Start with small amounts, take some risks, and learn the kinds of lessons you can only learn by losing a large portion of your account.
As you get a better grasp of things and start winning more you can add more money to your account.

A good tip you should know up front is to never gamble on earnings reports or pharmaceutical data. Robinhood General loves to bet on both of these and they're usually wrong.
Another thing you need to know up front is that you shouldn't hold a leveraged ETF overnight. They decay over time. This does not stop a few people from Robinhood General from holding them for weeks, though.

How you rank Bonds, ETFS and the like? And are there ways of investing in markets in a more macro way rather than individual companies?

I don't understand the question.

Yes, buy index fund ETFs. Google "index funds." This is mathematically the most effective form of buy-and-hold investing, especially if you are unwilling or unable to do the hours of research necessary to find a stock that MIGHT beat the market over the next 10 years.

In terms of risk and duration. I know this will come with experiences but generally speaking, which do you hold for longer vs selling quicker?

Great I'll look into that, penny stocks and quick trading will always be around but while I'm starting off and I have plenty of time I'm going to spend anyway. I'd like to do some more conservative investing now in a set-and-sit kind of manner, after I got a bit of a nest, then I would experiment in the fast lane.

Bonds are a low-risk, low-reward asset you hold to hedge risk in a long-term portfolio. ETFs can be short- or long-term holds depending on what they track and whether they're leveraged.

I'm on it!

Not a shill but I fucking love Stash. The fact that you can choose ETFs is huge given Acorns just takes your fucking money. they also do a great job selecting which to choose from- vanguard, istash, etc. Got 4% return until I put all my money into robinhood/savings. Great app, recommend
