Robinhood Users - Losses From Options & Prediction Markets
Journalist looking to talk to people who use the Robinhood app
Hi all,
I'm a reporter at More Perfect Union, which is an Emmy-winning nonprofit news site that covers economic stories across the country in documentary-style video reports. I received permission from the moderators to post this message to the group.
I'm working on a video report about the investment app Robinhood's expansion into prediction markets. In particular I'm looking at howhow Robinhood is now making the majority of its revenue from options, events contracts, and crypto, and how that's blurring the lines between gambling and investing for people who use the app.
I'm looking to talk to people who have had bad experiences with the Robinhood app and have lost money trading options or betting on prediction markets. I know this can be sensitive territory, so at this stage I'm happy to speak off the record. Ultimately I am hoping to interview a few people for the video about their experiences.
If you would be willing to talk to me, I'd love to hear from you. You can DM me here, or write to me at [email redacted]. For examples of our work, feel free to check out the website below.
Thank you,
Sam Black
