+	    <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 14 April 2022 | RobinHood,Public,Stock-Trading</p>
+            <p>So, I finally made the decision to migrate my personal stock portfolio from RobinHood to Public. This decision wasn’t made in light of what happened during the whole GameStop fiasco or because I hate RobinHood. As a matter of fact I was considering getting out of managing my own stock portfolio all together now that I have a 401k. However, I do like being able to “be in the game” so to speak and maybe have a portion of my money growing rather then just sitting in a bank account somewhere.</p>

+
+<p>For me the switch wasn’t that hard. I just used the Public app which I already have a brokerage account open with them. I initiated the transfer from there answered some questions about the brokerage account I was coming from (RobinHood) and now I wait.</p>
+
+<h2 id="why-make-the-switch">Why Make the Switch?</h2>
+
+<p>I decided to make the switch primarily because I like the community aspect of Public. It’s pretty cool loading up the site or the app and seeing the community page. As well as being able to follow people like <a href="https://public.com/@GrahamStephan">Graham Stephan</a> and other investors. I still plan to be more of a long term investor but Public seems to offer more information that I can act on when making investment decisions.</p>

+
+<p>There’s the saying that if a service is free you’re the product but Public seems be different in that you can have the option of tipping them when you sale stock. Which, is a nice way to help out a service that provides a way for smaller, retail, investors to even have a chance of building personal wealth that was previously reserved for the elite stock brokers.</p>
+
+<p>I’m sure Public isn’t perfect but I remain cautiously optimistic about it and hopefully will be a really long term thing.</p>
+
+<p>I guess this is the first real blog post I’ve written on my site in a while so I thank you all who read it and if you haven’t yet signed up for Public and would like to give it a try. You can check it out here. We’ll both get a free stock when you deposit money in a new account.</p>
+
+<p>Moving swiftly onwards from that little bit of shilling I do hope you have a wonderful day. :) -Ben</p>
