By simplicity I was talking about the fact that I don't need to fill out paperwork. Filling out paperwork is unrelated to the forecasting which companies will succeed. The point is, if it were 2005 and I wanted to buy Apple stock, without Robinhood I probably wouldn't have bothered.

Fun fact: brokerage accounts were easier to open in 2005 before the recent more stringent money laundering regulation.

Oh. Is opening a brokerage account that easy?
yes.
