Although I have some investments, I do not actively trade. With today's top sticky showing Trump's social media stocks, I'm ready to get started. I can't be the only one here seeking advice so I figured I'd start the discussion. Any advice on what platform or anything else useful is appreciated.

The GME Saga has taught us apes that brokers are dirty dirty con men! Most of them don't even actually buy your shares. The only (mostly) reputable broker we've found is Fidelity. Their desktop app, Fidelity Active Trader Pro, is the best I've used. (Against Schwab's Streetsmart Edge and TD Ameritrade's Think or Swim) I watched a short YouTube tutorial video on how to set it up to my liking.
Honestly, the mobile app edge goes to TDA Think or Swim, but did I mention they are acting squirrelly about our shares?
I'd recommend Fidelity and direct registering any shares you plan to hold longterm.
GME has been all about direct registration. From what I understand, each company has one company that plays this role, for GME that is a company called ComputerShare. I haven't yet found what the agency is to direct register DWAC. So at this point I just bought through my broker, and can figure out direct registration later.
Thanks 👍
