Tech Sell-Off: 1 Stockbroking Stock to Buy, and 1 to Sell

When the stock market is volatile, trading volumes typically rise as investors reposition their portfolios. It's great for stockbroking platforms that earn revenue based on transaction volume, and with more broad-based participation in the markets over the last two years from newer investors, many of those broking firms have experienced roaring business.

With the Nasdaq-100 technology index in a bear market, having lost 28% of its value this year, conventional wisdom suggests this could be a strong period for companies like Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR) and Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD). But these two popular providers are not created equal. Here's why one is worth investing in, while the other isn't.
