In January Robinhood suspended operations for some stocks such as GameStop and AMC. The reason was raised rates caused by retail exchanging social media forums. Eventually, the platform allowed their limited buys.Vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and long-time business mate of Warren Buffett Charlie Munger criticized Robinhood recently. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Daily Journal Corporation, he called the no-commission business model “a dirty way to make money.” The billionaire said that "No one should believe that Robinhood's traders are free". Robinhood answered Munger's criticism calling it “disappointing and elitist.”
