Why Robinhood Will Make History.
151 segments
I think Robin Hood is going to be so
aggressive the next few years that I
can't even imagine not having a big
stake in this company because there is
no other financial institution that I'm
even aware of that even has a plan to
attempt to do the things that I think
Robin Hood is going to attempt to do. I
think Robin Hood is going to be very
much like Amazon. Remember during the
last 15 years when Amazon would get into
an industry, it's like, "Oh my gosh,
they're going to take over that
industry." Like Amazon's going to sell
drugs now, like like you're going to get
all your prescriptions from Amazon or
Amazon's going to do this or that. It's
like, whoa, what is Amazon not going to
do? I think we're going to see a similar
setup with Robin Hood over the next few
years where they're going to plant
themselves into different industry
sectors until someone says, "Now, you've
gone too far." Okay, you've gone too
far. I don't know that anyone's going to
say that the next few years. And that's
okay. So, to play devil's advocate here,
are you at all concerned about their
current valuation compared to
competitors? Schwab is the one that
obviously comes to mind.
>> I don't think you can compare them to
Schwab because the growth trajectory and
growth rates are totally different.
>> Schwab used to be a, you know, a online
broker that charged for trades and then
Robin Hood came along and they had to
offer free trades. I'm not investing in
Schwab. I'm investing in Robin Hood. I'm
just trying to ask the question, what is
to prevent Schwab from saying, "Oh,
well, we can do prediction markets. We
can do tokenization. We can do these
things. Once Robin Hood get gets in
trouble or doesn't get in trouble,
they've laid the groundwork. we we'll
just do what they do.
>> I think they ultimately will do a lot,
not everything, but a lot of the things
that Robin Hood is doing, but they're
going to do it way later, way slower in
much more of an antiquated way. And they
are not going to capture the minds of
the the the the customer set. Meaning
that if you are a youngish investor, you
do not want to be sitting with, you
know, a a grandpa company like Schwab
because it's not fun. It's not
interesting. You're always going to be
years behind in what you're able to do.
Like if Robin Hood can somehow pull off
real estate like we've been talking
about, if Robin Hood can figure out a
way to tokenize
real estate and to actually be the
company that helps facilitate those
transactions as well as all other
financial transactions in the world, uh
that's a company that you're going to
want to be with. Otherwise, you're
waiting years and years for your
financial institution to catch up. And
quite honestly, the majority of young
accounts are on Robin Hood.
>> Schwab has just missed the boat on this
younger generation by not having, you
know, crypto and all these things just
default in their iPhone app. You can't I
mean, how do you come back from that?
>> When we were younger, we all worked at
huge incumbent companies. You spent a
decade of your life at Yahoo. Is there
was there any way even if you had people
at Yahoo back in the day that saw
something and said we need to jump on
this quickly. It's like three years
later before they actually do and then
they do it in a worse way. There were
people jumping on things all the time
but actually pushing it to the finish
line and launching it as a product be it
just became such a it's like trying to
move through molasses. You can't do it
at a big company. And that's where I
feel like companies like Google we we've
been talking about Google and the AI
race. I feel like Google is actually
doing more than we would have expected
considering how big and slow they are.
But um yeah, I just don't see Schwab
being able to, you know, put it into
high gear and launch innovative products
fast enough to get a younger generation
that
>> Well, I just I just think it's too late.
I just think they've already, you know,
they've already missed that customer. Do
you know what I think is the biggest
white flag
on Robin Hood is they did something that
I thought was stupid, really stupid, but
it was a big white flag. The fact that
they came out, you remember when they
came out a few months ago and announced
that they were going to deliver cash to
you if you needed cash? That was a dumb
thing. I don't really understand it. But
the fact that someone said, "This would
be cool. Let's let's float this. Let's
just see if it works. And and and the
company said, "What the hell? Let's get
let's deliver cash to people." Could you
even imagine? Could you even imagine a
scenario where a Charles Schwab or any
other financial institution in the world
>> conversation happening within the walls
of Charles Schwab or Goldman Sachs or
you know who would that product ever
make it to the light of day? Never. that
one product, the fact that the CEO came
out and said, "Hey, we're just going to
start delivering cash to you," not
knowing if it would be the dumbest thing
in the world if anybody would use it or
it would even still be a product in 6
months. The fact that this company is
willing to take a risk on something as
stupid as that, now you know they're
going to take the risk on other things
that have potential to be multi-deion
industries if they work. That's what I
love. This is what America is all about.
Taking huge risks to do great things.
Things that are so wild and so creative
that nobody anywhere in the world in
their right mind would ever even
consider doing anything like this. The
spirit of American entrepreneurial like
like business. Like this is it. This is
what this company is all about. This is
what Robin Hood is

The video discusses the potential growth of Robinhood, comparing its aggressive and innovative business strategy to Amazon's expansion. The speakers argue that traditional financial institutions like Schwab are too slow and bureaucratic to compete effectively for younger demographics, highlighting Robinhood's willingness to experiment with unconventional ideas—such as delivering cash—as a core competitive advantage.
