And we're wrapping up here. Lots of tough questions for Robinhood and Citadel. Reddit and Gill were largely hailed by members of both parties. And Melvin Capital just sort of... disappeared for a while. — PolitiTweet.org

Tenev disclosed two important stats that I'm not sure I knew before: More than half of Robinhood's revenue comes from payment for order flow, and Citadel is the biggest recipient of Robinhood trade orders. Sheds light on Robinhood's underlying business model. — PolitiTweet.org

Go on any investing subreddit and the complaints about traditional brokerages is always about their clunky interfaces, not the product. If RH has "democratized" finance, it's by creating a nicer onramp for new investors. But let's not kid ourselves that it's much more than that. — PolitiTweet.org

This idea that Robinhood is some sort of groundbreaker because it offers fee-free trading and fractional investments seems kind of misleading. Vanguard, Fidelity and other brokerages have had this for years. What sets RH apart is the convenience and simplicity of its app and UX. — PolitiTweet.org

Schulp, a former FINRA official, says she doesn’t see evidence of market manipulation on WSB. “I do think the SEC should look," she said, "but to this point I see very little that would meet a test for manipulation, which generally invovles falsely deceptive behavior." — PolitiTweet.org
