Stocks not supported on robinhood
At the moment, there’s no Robinhood shorting. The free-trading app doesn’t support short-selling stocks on its platform. This could be because Robinhood supports passive short-term or long-term investors rather than active traders. In addition to not supporting shorting, Robinhood lacks several features that active traders can use to trade stocks. Aurora did not respond to a request for comment about Wednesday's trading issues. It's not unheard of for Robinhood to restrict trading to protect its users from fraud and manipulation.
