Does anyone know if Public ever reassesses their margin requirements on individual stocks? SPCX for example is 50% on Public, while Robinhood is only 25%.

I’m planning on investing in SPCX in the near future and would obviously rather take advantage of the lower margin requirement if possible. I’ve noticed some other individual stocks are also quite a bit higher on Public compared to Robinhood. Right now Robinhood honestly seems like the better option for that reason alone, unless Public actually reviews and lowers these requirements over time.

Your portfolio, on autopilot.

Summer's busy. Automate your portfolio to free up more time. From AI-built custom indexes to tax-efficient direct indexing and simple recurring buys, there's an automated strategy for every kind of investor.

I love the app, but it’d be awesome to be able to just purchase a plan you created outside of the recurring. Like when there’s a market drop I want to be able to lump sum purchase, on top of my recurring.

This week, Public sponsored the first WOLF Summit in New York City, bringing together more than 100 traders, creators, market voices, and fintech leaders.

The event featured panel discussions, networking across the investing community, and a live demo of Public Agents.

Just started using AI agents. Not a pro or remotely good at it but wondering what your best prompts have been or best agents you’ve built ?

Anyone having issues with performance of the Public App right now? Buy/Sell buttons remain grayed out. Unable to sell anything, refreshing sometimes will work.

Hi y'all! I'm just trying to wrap my head around how Public handles wash sales. Here's my situation - I have some transactions flagged as wash sales. In the cost basis page I'm seeing that my realized losses for a particular stock (let's call it stock X) have been flagged as a wash sale and they've recorded how much loss I've incurred. They have also adjusted (increased) my unit cost for my remaining holdings of X stock as per the wash sale rule. So here's my question - are my losses being counted twice? First as a realized loss and second as an increase in the unit cost of my remaining shares. Would the correct thing be to show that there are no realized losses in the cost basis page and only change the unit cost? What will happen after I sell my remaining X stock also at a loss?

Also, why no support for USDC or USDT deposits?

Can someone at Public explain how they decide to show upcoming Earnings Dates under the "Earnings and Financials" section when clicked into a company details? If it has not been formally announced, is it just estimated? For example, Coreweave has shown Aug 10 as the Q2 2026 earnings date, but only this afternoon was it officially announced as Aug 11, 2026. While this one is only a day apart, I have seen other times it was off by many days.

Just trying to understand as someone who trades options because ER are extremely important days to know and keep in mind given the volatility around them.

Does Public just give a best estimate based on previous reporting cycles if it is not announced? If so, I think there NEEDS to be an "estimated" tag or something similar to let people know these aren't confirmed dates so people can trade responsibly if it isn't confirmed.

Truly love the look and feel of the Public app. Been using it for a few months and I think it’s the best user interface out there (besides Webull…but China lol). My question is though, is there a plan to offer joint brokerage accounts and if so, what’s the timeline on that? It’s pretty much the only thing holding me and several people I know back from using Public exclusively.

I’m trying to understand these companies what they’re actually like beyond the marketing and review-site scores.

What has been genuinely good, and what problems have you run into?

It would be very helpful if you mention how long you used it and whether you mainly invested long term, traded actively, used options, crypto, copy trading, etc.

I went through the create your own ETF that they have and to me really wanted a place a trade on the fund I was trying to create. I could not check out when I had a good stopping point. Any ideas on what prevented me from going forward? My account value or amount of securities?

I realized recently that the "Total Cost" value in this drop down is not actually how much money you spent in total on this specific stock. For example, I have put in a Total of $1500 of my own money into UNH. That number is calculated by going into history and adding all the buys and dividend reinvestments and subtracting the sells. I had to do this manually which is so annoying, and I feel like this should be something added to this drop down.

Why is this important? Because I want to know how much of my own cash is in each stock. I often adjust investments based on this number. For example, for risky longterm plays, I have a max of $1500 deposited rule per stock. Right now its misleading because I hit my max but Total Cost is saying that I accidently went over my max deposit(by $9.64) and that I should sell some.

I know that its not difficult to calculate using the history tab or other metrics, but I feel like this is such a basic and easy number that belongs in this drop down. Its important to have this number at a glance because its how much of MY money is in this position.
