This Week's Stock Purchases

I bought some shares of GoPro this past week (Stock Ticker GPRO). I already sold them as I lost interest after the initial excitement of buying them. I didn't make much money off of it, but it was still fun to buy, but not as much fun to hold.

I am able to buy so many different stocks due to not paying commission fees, thanks to the trading app called Robinhood. If you want to learn more about Robinhood, click here. 

You can click on the investing tab or here to see what stocks I currently have in my Robinhood portfolio.
