 This drives me crazy what's up money geeks mr. V here welcome to another video guys so in today's video I want to talk to you guys about the one feature with an M1 finance that drives me not um I love M1 finance they have really beautiful features but when it comes to this one feature I get so frustrated we have all these are investing platforms from M1 to SoFi to Robinhood to betterment to acorn to stash name them they all have bit and pieces of really good features or functionalities and then you're sitting there thinking like why can't someone just grab all those different platforms mash them together just mash them together and then tada and just releases one ultimate platform that answers every single need that we have or that I have as an investor um I know that's not going to happen anytime soon so that's why I'm using a Robinhood for one reason I'm using M1 for another reason I'm using vanguard for another reason I'm using Webull for another reason um again you have to use these different platforms for your different needs so um I've been using Robinhood for a while and they have some really good features and I love it and then M1 came along I'm like oh my god it's like you're dating a girl and then you see another girl it's so beautiful and good thing um they have all the characteristics of you one is like huh I'm gonna go chase that chick and you get there you realize like huh she's beautiful looking but she doesn't have all the qualities you're looking for right so that's what happens so I got with M1 who said I said check in M1 I was like oh M1 has some really good features but not everything so how can I use M1 and this is how I kind of broke down my investing I do my swing trade or maybe active trading in Robinhood and then I do my dividend investing in M1 finance because the dividend investing is long term I've started using Webull to to kind of get into just get the platform tested and see how it works but today it's all about M1 finance if you are some of the likes passive investing I'm gonna buy sit on it and wait and ride or I'm gonna buy sit on it and collect those dividends then M1 finance is for you I love the interface I've talked about that here I've actually done a review of M1 finance year on the channel I and I've actually done a video show you guys my dividend portfolio in M1 finance I'm gonna hook that up here so you can definitely go check it out and I'm gonna be doing that every month show you guys where my portfolio is at in M1 finance but there's still this one feature in M1 finance that boy I can't stand it you know and I'm thinking like why can't Robinhood just you know give me that give me the features I get I have an M1 finance or M1 finance why can't you just copy everything in Robinhood and add it to what you have right now and give it to me again it's not gonna happen so when I go in Robinhood I can do the little things I can do and I'm out I go in M1 finance it has that beautiful pile you can see I create my pile with different sectors so I have energy healthcare technology utility just name it I have all these different sectors that I have that constitute my pile and so it looks beautiful the layout and everything really looks good the visual looks perfect but here is the one thing that I can't stand with M1 finance the trading window let me explain M1 finance just out of the just out of the box has two trading windows one at 9 a.m my time and the other trading window at 2 p.m my time so here is the thing the 9 a.m trading window in M1 finance is free if you want to have access to the 2 p.m trading window you have to pay the premium version you have to pay for the premium version and I'm not about to pay for the premium version when I can use a free platform that's not fair to me okay so and I'm thinking okay I have this 9 a.m trading window here's how it gets so frustrating assume that you see a stock at 10 a.m and you're reading about that stock investigating and it says that stock is going to go up more than likely and then you say hey this stock is currently at $10 I want to place an order say hey buy 100 shares of that particular stock and you put it you put that order in M1 finance from 10 a.m that you place that order it's not going to get executed until 9 a.m the very next day so you can place your order for a stock at $10 a share and by the time it gets executed that particular stock is $30 per share that's how frustrating it is and that's why when I look at M1 finance sometimes I just want to hold it and shake it I'm more like fix this you know because look at that you you did your homework and you wanted to go in in time but M1 held it until 9 a.m the next day to actually execute that trade so it gets me so so frustrated again I love M1 some of the features in there is just beautiful but when it comes to executing your trade your trade windows it's not something I want to deal with it's super super frustrating so that's the one thing I wanted to share with you guys in this video so let me know in the comment section if you do use if you're using M1 what are some of the beautiful features that you see in M1 and what are the frustrating features in M1 that you can't really stand let me know in the comment section like share subscribe and as always guys stay motivated
