Pros	Follow other investors and see what they’re investing in – including experts. Get feedback on your trades by making your trade history public. Community members offer recommendations and advice through the main feed.	Low cost. Easy to use. No account minimum. Good for day trading.
Cons	Only available through the native app for iOS and Android. There is no website to access your investments from. Limited Accounts - Public only offers brokerage (taxable) accounts. Minafi recommends people start investing using a 401(k), IRA or Traditional IRA first before moving on to taxable accounts. Encouraging sharing for additional free stock grants. Those who you share with might not have enough investment platform background to understand the tax consequences of trading in a brokerage account. Social features and news may be informative but may cause you to make more trades than you might otherwise.	Relatively new (started in 2017). No mutual funds. Slower account setup than Robin Hood. Not great for retirement or long-term investing.
Promotions		2 Free stocks on deposit of at least $100 (valued between $8 and $1,600)
