Debunking investing myths

Hi Smiles Davis,

Not ready to start investing yet?

There are some misconceptions about investing that can make it hard to get started. So we put together a list of facts to help debunk investing myths you may have heard.

Myth #1: Investing requires a lot of money to get started.

On Robinhood you can become an investor with as little as $1.

Myth #2: You need to be an expert to invest.

You can learn along the way and check out in-app lessons for more information.

Myth #3: Timing the market is the key to success.

With recurring investments you can invest gradually, at regular intervals, and regardless of where market prices stand—which can help minimize risk of market timing and volatility.
