I created an account as well.  Fell short of linking one of my accounts. So I didn’t buy anything. Add in RH and others doing what they’re doing, I’m going to hold off.  Wife and I both have an IRA.  Full disclosure, I’m not into “stocks”. I equate those to a savings account with better interest.   I could be so far off base. Someone that knows better please do inform me.  I started a 401 because I was told to for retirement reasons from my parents.  Wife works at a real company that matches and stuff.  That I understand.  My money plus your money plus the market.  It’ll grow. Mine, is just my money and maybe 10% a year.  Perhaps that good.  But just doesn’t seem like a lot. But if RH allows the trading after lawsuits and Reddit people keep doing this, I may chime in.  I’ve got a decent amount I’m ok losing if it happens to go that way.  If this becomes a trend I’m in and if RH will allow it.  Am I wrong here?  I know JIB is calling it “gambling”.  IMO, I can make more at the poker than my 401k.  Some advice please.
