2. Things That Stock Brokers Do

Brokers are individuals that act as the intermediaries for the seller of securities, and the investors that buy them. The word "broker" applies to several circumstances. One can be a real estate broker or a car broker. This word can also describe a salesperson since they bridge the seller of the goods to the consumers. Brokers are important because they carry out the standards of the markets with the purpose to sell more goods. A good broker is trusted to work for their interests.

A transaction on a stock exchange cannot be completed without a broker since only members of the stock exchange and registered representatives can enter a transaction. The broker is the primary access of a normal stock buyer to the market. There are various types of stock brokers. Execution-only brokers are tasked to only follow the client's instruction to buy or sell. Other stock brokers can advise their clients on which stocks to buy and sell, but leaves the financial decision to the investor. Discretionary dealing is where the stock broker trades stocks based on his client's objectives.

Stock brokers are usually sought for their advice. Thus, they share similar roles with investment advisors and financial advisors. Brokers can also trade on the market on their own behalf.

3. A Typical Workday as a Stock Broker

The services of a stock broker are sought for their information and their expertise. They are the active hand of individual investors or corporation. Since they have the monopoly of the 'middleman', they can advise and perform consultations for their clients on certain investments.

Usually, stockbrokers are there for investor education. They explain how the stock market works and they gather information that will serve the client's interest. They help investors determine the best investments based on the client's objectives. For many investors, the words of a trusted stock broker can be regarded as scripture since it is their primary source of expert opinion.

After investment options are sorted out, the stock broker sends the order on the floor of the securities exchange. After the transaction is accomplished, the stock broker informs the client on the price of the security, transfers the title of the stock to the client and he works to complete the deal. Stock brokers take the normal nine to five shift, but they should also be prepared to work more hours to get a deal done. Budding stock brokers spend most of their time on the phone building their client base.

4. Becoming a Stock Broker

A college degree is not required to become a stock broker, but the job market prefers that you have one. Stock brokers have to be duly licensed by passing the General Securities Representative Examination and by posting a bond. Brokerage firms usually take their applicants into a four-month intensive on-the-job training to prepare their employees for the licensure exam. This training is the doghouse for young brokers. Not only will you have to match the standards of the firm , but you will also be competing with fellow trainees for a few numbers of vacant slots. Aside from the general licensure exam, most states also require the Uniform Agents State Law examination. These tests are done to ensure the candidate's knowledge of all aspects of the market.

Being a stock broker requires constant training even if you are well into your career. Most brokers take classes and train up to two years while working full time. Attendance in seminars and forums are important throughout their careers to keep them informed on the development of their field.

It is rare for people straight out of college to become stockbrokers. Usually, one should have prior work experience, preferably on a related field, to become a stockbroker. This is not to say that it is impossible not to get into the system by other means. Highly talented individuals who have a knack for numbers and the market can easily outwit conventional brokers. A strong background in economics, finance, math, computers, and business management will go a long way in advancing your career.
