Thank you for compiling all of this information; as a novice in the financial sector, having anything like that is quite beneficial. This has shown to be really valuable, particularly at the beginning.

Support never writes back -
From my heart this is NOT the Financial Well of advice you are looking for.

The 505 page is the main display page of your portfolio - making trading near impossible.
Their login/password module is really FU. User experience is annoying.

Terrible for education
September 9, 2020

I was testing their stock market simulator for a class I'm teaching and found that their simulator doesn't properly account for stock splits. Emailing them I learned that it was a mistake and that splits should be accounted for and they were looking into it. Weeks later and they still haven't fixed the bug. Just don't bother with this site if you're in academics or even if you want to learn about trading, it's a joke.

Actually stated in order to receive a house for free is to break the law and squat... A home that does belong to another.
Serves my curiosity in reading what I did. This site is a scam and should be removed. Very misleading!

Signing in
March 31, 2020

About 50% of the time I have an issue signing into my account of the classes that I had purchased this gets very frustrating for me.

When the site doesn't work it redirect me to the main page (photo attached)

I had emailed Investopedia several times to fix this issue and nothing still has been done

Luckily TD ameritrade offers free trader education

The old investopedia was simplistic and intuitive with an abundance of information, a diamond in the rough. The new investopedia is complicated with ALOT less intuitive information. It almost feels as if it was intentionally complicated to sell courses that were once free. I understand the business of monetizing, but changing EVERYTHING took away investopedia competitive advantage of simplicity. Now it's like every other site.
