> This stock is not supported on Robinhood.

This is a jabberwocky sentence. It is syntactically correct but there is nothing in the real world to which it could be referring. Brokers do not "support" stocks.



Sharing my lookup of jabberwocky.

> n. Nonsensical speech or writing. > adj. meaningless, worthless > adj. absurd, nonsense, non-sensical

From Wiki: "Jabberwocky" is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll about the killing of a creature named "the Jabberwock".

Wonderful word.


This is suggesting a technical support, not a rah-rah support.
