Care to elaborate? I was under the impression that Indexes are treated the same way as stocks.

Amateur investors are best off buying indexes and holding forever. Robinhood entices them to trade in and out of individual stocks (or worse).

And you can do so on robinhood by buying ETFs while potentially saving money on transaction fees if you were to use a traditional brokerage (I say potentially because vanguard lets me buy their etfs without a transaction fee when I use their brokerage account).
