The name is program. As a kind of avenger of the disinherited, the US broker Robinhood came up to democratize securities trading in the USA. No fees for investors and a fancy app – with this program Robinhood taught the established competition to fear.
One swipe is enough and the share is bought – trading for the Tinder, Instagram and Snapchat generations. But Robinhood is not selfless, on the contrary: In the long term, the revolution that has been instigated could do more harm than good to the securities culture.
The broker earns part of his money by forwarding his customers’ orders to other financial firms such as high-frequency traders Virtu or Citadel Securities for a fee.
This controversial practice has now brought Robinhood a $ 65 million US securities regulatory penalty for failing to disclose these deals and thereby deceiving its customers. But that’s not the only crack in the success story.
The Massachusetts state securities regulator accuses Robinhood of making trading in stocks and more complex securities playfully easy and thereby violating its duty of care towards its customers.
This strategy is called gamification in technical jargon. Services are set up like a video game, the customers are rewarded for every progress so that they continue on the prepared journey to ever higher sales for the providers.
Robinhood, for example, greets its customers with a virtual confetti shower the first time they trade. Everything is so beautifully simple and colorful here – but that is exactly the problem.
It is more and more common to hear from beginners in the securities business who have speculated heavily on Robinhood. There was even a suicide because an inexperienced 20-year-old trader mistakenly believed he had amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt with his complex deals.
Young, often inexperienced customers who, bored, gamble at home with securities in Corona times – trading à la Robinhood actually has a touch of gambling. Of course, everyone has the right to ruin themselves as they see fit. But maybe brokers like Robinhood actually need an instruction leaflet or a warning label like on cigarette packs.
Because long-term damage to the securities culture threatens: Anyone who has fallen on the nose with stocks or more complex deals threatens to permanently lose the desire to save securities. Anyone who still remembers the New Market in Germany in the late 1990s knows the sad story.

Large institutional and individual whale investors capitalized on Bitcoin’s fall rally, buying mostly on pullbacks and selling at local highs. This is stated in a recent study of the OKEx cryptocurrency exchange.
Unlike whales, retail investors mostly bought during the growth of the first cryptocurrency.
The study covered the period from August 1 to November 30, 2020, analyzing data on the most popular BTC / USDT pair on OKEx.
Trading activity was divided into several categories: transactions up to 0.5 BTC (retail investors), 0.5 BTC – 2 BTC (professional traders) and 5 BTC – 10 BTC and more than 10 BTC (large traders, whales and institutions).
As you can see in the table below, in October and November, despite the rising prices, retail investors continued to buy.
Data: OKEx.
Large traders accumulated the most significant positions at prices of about $ 10,000, fixing profits during the period of active growth.
The study also showed different investor behavior during the market crash on Thanksgiving November 26. Small investors panicked and started selling, while the whales, on the other hand, seized the moment to buy more.
Data: OKEx.
“As you can see, all but most of the retail traders took profit when Bitcoin hit a new all-time high on November 30,” the report says.
Recall, according to a recent study by Chainalysis, since the beginning of the year, the number of wallets with a balance of more than 1000 BTC has increased by 302. Balances at the corresponding addresses have grown by 1.4 million BTC during this time.

Jersey, November 6, 2020, Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE / Euronext: ATRS), (the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries the “Atrium Group” or the “Group”), a leading owner, operator and developer of shopping centers and Retail Real Estate in Central Europe, announces results for the first nine months ending September 30, 2020 and an updated overview of the impact of Covid-19 on the Group’s operations.
Update on the COVID-19 situation
The encouraging upswing that began in the third quarter is losing momentum due to the second wave of restrictions
Our centers saw a solid rebound over the summer, trending towards pre-Covid-19 levels when restrictions were lifted starting in May. NOur tenant visitor numbers and sales showed an encouraging recovery in August, reaching 77 % and 93% of the 2019 level, respectively. In September, when the number of infections increased in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the number of visitors and sales decreased slightly to 76% and 86% respectively and this downward trend has continued since Governments reintroduced restrictions in response to the increasing Covid-19 cases. nThe collection of rent claims in the first nine months of 2020 improved significantly to 94%, with negotiations with tenants almost complete. nAfter the new lockdowns in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, 90% of the Group’s gross rental space is currently open, compared to 98% at the beginning October. nPoland announced a second package of measures on November 4th, in which all non-essential transactions are to be closed from November 7th to 29th. nSolid financial position to cover our liquidity needs
Sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility to manage the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, with EUR 264 million in uncommitted funds, consisting of EUR 50 million in cash and an unused credit facility of EUR 214 million as of today, and a net LTV of 37.5%. nThe most important measures that have been taken to maintain and improve liquidity include: no Extending the average maturity of the Group’s liabilities to 4.8 years (2.9% of the average cost of debt) by the successful completion of a bond buyback of EUR 218 million and the increase in bonds due in 2025 by EUR 200 million in June. An additional buyback of the bonds due in 2022 in the amount of EUR 8 million was carried out in October. o The voluntary scrip dividend alternative implemented for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of 2020 has so far led to a saving of EUR 21 million in liquid funds, after around 40% of the shareholders used their option in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2020 Have made use of it. o Implementation of a Euro Medium Term Note program together with a Green Financing Framework, with potential suitability for the Corporate Sector Purchase Program (CSSP) of the ECB.

The latest legally implemented trade restrictions and lockdowns have added further uncertainty regarding short-term trading conditions. As a result, the Board has decided to postpone a decision on dividend policy for 2021 until the 2020 results are announced in February 2021. nLiad Barzilai, Chief Executive Officer of the Atrium Group: “With the phasing out of the Covid-19-related measures for Protecting Health In early May, we saw positive momentum in visitor numbers and retail sales throughout the summer, bringing the third quarter closer to historic levels of 2019. The recent rise in the number of Covid-19 cases, however, has resulted in further government restrictions and we are starting to see this momentum slowing in Q3. While the future impact of Covid-19 remains uncertain, I am given the strong performance and pace of society’s recovery during the summer as well as ours We are confident of high incoming payments from rental income s our solid financial and liquidity positions to address any short-term challenges that we may face. ”
