Robinhood fires back after Warren Buffett slams free-trading app
CNN
Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman Charlie Munger are not big fans of short-term trading and the popular Robinhood app. But it appears that Robinhood has no time for Buffett or Munger either.
Buffett said in Saturday's annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting that the rise of Robinhood is "a very significant part of the casino aspect" of the stock market in the past year. "There's nothing illegal about it, there's nothing immoral. But I don't think you build a society around people doing it," he said.Over and over at a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Democratic senators confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about controversial comments they said he had made in the past. And over and over, President Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of health and human services either denied having said those things or said he wasn’t sure he had said them.
Investigators are intensifying their search into what caused the collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, with recovery crews still working to pull wreckage from the Potomac River and initial concerns already raised about the path of at least one of the aircraft.
