Yes.

I moved my 401K money to Vanguard around the time of the Covid mini crash because I saw it as an opportunity to buy stocks. Vanguard makes it pretty easy to buy and sell stocks on line - I’m sure there are lots of other brokerages that do the same thing - I just picked Vanguard because my son had an account there.

I don’t usually do day trading like I did with DWAC - it just seemed to me like it was being driven by that day’s news cycle and that the price would come back down.

Mostly, I just invest in a stock and hang onto it through thick and thin.

I put 75% in their VTI which is like a stock fund that follows the S&P 500’but trades like an ETF. I put the other 25% in Tesla, but now it’s about 50/50 since Tesla did so well.
