Investing Update 4/17/2016

I have ROBINHOOD INSTANT!!!!!! I got access this past Wednesday. I transferred money into my RH account which was available "instantly" to use to buy stocks. This money came from selling my Apple stock on my old brokerage, which this is the last time that I'll speak of that old brokerage.
