What is investing?

Investing means putting your money into something — like stocks, funds, or bonds — with the goal of growing it over time. When a company does well, your tiny piece of it becomes more valuable.

Think of it like buying a small slice of a pizza shop. If the shop does great business, your slice becomes worth more than what you paid for it.

How does the stock market work?

The stock market is where people buy and sell shares of companies. Prices go up when more people want to buy, and down when more want to sell. It's open Monday through Friday.

Imagine a farmers market, but instead of fruits and vegetables, people are buying and selling tiny pieces of companies like Apple, Google, and Tesla.
📱

What is a broker?

A broker is the app or platform you use to buy and sell investments. You can't just walk into the stock market — you need a broker to place orders for you.

A broker is like an app store, but for investments. You browse, pick what you want, and the app handles the transaction for you.
🎯

What kind of investor will you be?

There's no wrong answer. Most investors fall into one of two styles — and the best broker depends on which one fits you.

Passive

Welcome to Robinhood

Robinhood is one of the simplest ways to start buying stocks. When you open the app you'll see your portfolio at the top and a search bar to find any stock you want. The first thing to do is link your bank account so you can add money. Once that's done you're ready to make your first purchase.
Start small. Even buying one dollar of a stock is a real investment and a great way to learn how it feels.

Placing Your First Trade

Search for a company you know and believe in. Type the name in the search bar and tap the stock. You'll see the current price and a Buy button. Tap Buy, enter the dollar amount you want to invest, and review the order. When you're ready tap Submit. That's it. You are now an investor.
You don't need to buy a full share. Robinhood lets you buy fractional shares so you can own a piece of Apple or Tesla for just a few dollars.

Why the News Matters for Your Portfolio

Every company you invest in is affected by what happens in the world. When a company reports strong earnings the stock usually goes up. When there's bad news like a lawsuit or a missed target the stock can drop. That's why staying informed is one of the most powerful things you can do as an investor. Reading market news daily helps you understand why your stocks are moving and spot opportunities before others do.
You don't need to check every hour. A quick scan of the headlines each morning is enough to stay in the loop.

Welcome to Public

Public is a multi-asset platform where you can invest in stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, crypto, and retirement accounts — all commission-free. When you open the app, start by linking your bank account and depositing at least $20 to get started. Explore the home screen to see market movers and use the AI agents to help build an investing strategy that fits your goals.
If you have an existing portfolio, IRA, or 401k elsewhere, Public offers an uncapped 1% match when you transfer it over. Worth checking out before you start from scratch.

Building Your First Portfolio

Search for any stock or ETF, tap Invest, and choose a dollar amount. Public supports fractional shares so you can own a piece of any company for as little as a few dollars. You can also explore bonds for steady income, crypto if you want exposure, or set up an IRA for retirement. Your uninvested cash earns approximately 3.3% APY in the high-yield cash account with up to $5M FDIC insurance.
Start by spreading a small amount across 3 or 4 different investments. Diversifying early helps you learn how different assets behave without risking too much on any single one.

News Powers the Conversation

The Public community lives and breathes the news. When a big story breaks, you'll see investors reacting in real time, sharing their takes, and explaining why they're buying or selling. Reading market news daily makes those conversations make sense and helps you spot trends before they show up in your feed. The investors who do best on Public are the ones who stay informed and ask questions.
Bookmark Greenline News and check the headlines every morning. The more context you have the more value you'll get from the Public community.

Welcome to Webull

Webull is built for investors who want more information before making a move. When you first open the app it can feel like a lot but don't worry. Start by exploring the Markets tab to see what's moving and the Screener to discover stocks based on filters like price and volume. Link your bank account and you're ready to start.
Use Webull's paper trading first. It lets you practice buying and selling with fake money so you can learn without any risk.

Understanding Stock Charts

A stock chart shows you the price of a stock over time. The green candles mean the price went up that day and the red ones mean it went down. The lines at the bottom show trading volume which tells you how many people were buying and selling. When volume is high something big is happening. You can switch between different time frames like one day, one week, or one year to see the bigger picture.
Explore the community features in Webull to see how other traders analyze stocks and share ideas.

News is Your Edge as an Investor

Active traders on Webull pay close attention to the news because news moves stocks fast. An earnings report, a Fed announcement, or a new product launch can send a stock soaring or dropping within minutes. Knowing what's happening before you trade helps you make smarter decisions and avoid getting caught off guard by big moves.
Set up Webull watchlist alerts so you get notified when your stocks make big moves.
