My investment plan: Does this sound too good to be true?

Currently a college student with about ~24k saved up. I have a decent amount of that in crypto currencies and don’t want to keep checking crypto prices everyday so I want to invest long term in safe stocks like ETFs.

The plan: Buy Robinhood Gold (essentially loaned money to invest with) from the Robinhood app, doubling my investing power to ~50k. The cost of Robinhood Gold would be $200/month. If I invest all that money into safe stocks like SPY, SPYG, SPYD, ITA, XLK, and other safe stocks, they average about ~3-4% gains each month.

Math: 50,000*.03 = 1500 (monthly gains) 1500 - 200 = 1300 (Monthly Robinhood Gold fee)

Net monthly gain: $1,300

This is a rough estimate assuming the stocks average a 4% monthly gain. Even a 1% gain nets me ~300 a month.

If I diversify my stocks with safe ETFs from different sectors and assuming the market is bullish, I think it would work.

So is this too good to be true?? Am I doing the math wrong?Is there anything I’m missing? Let me know what you guys think.
