Tools, Brokerages & Reading
Resources
Tools and platforms I use, recommend, and write about. The investing services on this page pay a referral if you sign up through these links — that helps fund The Pinnacle. The recommendations are honest either way.
Brokerages and Investing
Where the Pinnacle's stock and market analysis happens, in real life.
Interactive Brokers
Active Trading · Margin · Global Markets
Institutional-grade execution available to retail accounts. The platform I use for active trading and what I cite when I write about margin debt, futures volume, and market structure. Through the IBKR Refer-a-Friend program, the referred client receives $1 in IBKR Class A stock for every $100 deposited within the first year, up to $1,000 in stock.
Wealthfront
Automated Investing · Tax-Loss Harvesting
For the part of a portfolio that benefits from being on autopilot — diversified allocation, automated tax-loss harvesting, and a high-yield cash account that handles idle cash. Funding $500 through this link adds a $50 bonus.
Robinhood
Active Brokerage · Robinhood Gold
Among the more honest large brokerages on the margin question. The first $1,000 in margin is interest-free with a Robinhood Gold subscription, and the rate above that is competitive. Sign up gets you a free stock.
Charles Schwab
Full-Service Brokerage · Retirement Accounts
For IRAs, retirement planning, and full-service support. The bones of the financial industry, with research tools and human help when you want it.
Stock Research
Where the analysis comes from before the article gets written.
TipRanks
Analyst Ratings · Smart Score · Insider Activity
The screening platform behind a lot of what runs in The Pinnacle's Markets section. Aggregates analyst ratings across Wall Street, with insider trading data and news sentiment in one view.
