As an extremely happy ‘Fidelity‘ client of close onto 30-years, I am happy that Fidelity is trying to be HIP & going after the younger investors. All my kids have had Fidelity accounts & the youngest two still have.
My 16-year old is very blasé about her Fidelity account, though she has a DREAM portfolio, created 7 years ago, with the likes of AMZN, TSLA, GOOG & NVDA. So, I thought this would be a great way to get her to show some interest in investment tools.
I got her to try ‘The Fidelity Stack‘ on her Chromebook. She was far from impressed. According to her it was just a boring lot of reading. I don’t know. I haven’t had the time (nor inclination) to spend any time on it. Though I started programming in 1969 (yes, 52-years ago) I never got into liking computer games. They never appealed — plus, most of my adult life, I have never had enough free time for ‘games’. SMILE. Funnily, though she, a few years back, went through the usual ‘Minecraft’ phase, my 16-year old is also NOT into computer games! That was her first reaction to ‘The Fidelity Stack’. I don’t like computer games.
I am sure Fidelity will finesse their Metaverse offerings over time. For now, all I can say is that they have made a foray & that my 16-year old was underwhelmed.
P.S., She complained that ‘The Stack’ froze her (fairly new) Chromebook. She has never had it freeze previously. She was not happy. Just a heads up.
