On: Robinhood was indeed too good to be true

[X6S1x6Okd1st]

Has there been a study that shows that robinhood is more expensive than various commissioned brokers?

I don't know if there's been a study, but that's the substance of the SEC charges that the source article is describing. (It's not clear to me if the full details of the SEC's calculation are private or I just don't know how to find them.)

The linked article contradicts this point. On balance today Robinhood is not more expensive. The parent's point about the slippery slope still stands of course.

Sounds like it’s about to be litigated in court.
