With the advent of automated stock broking systems on the Internet the
client often has no personal contact with his/her stock broking firm.
The stock broker"s system performs all the stock broking functions: it
obtains the best price from the market and executes and settles the
trade.
Today, most of the once well-known corporate brand names including
mid-sized firms such as Smith Barney have been swallowed up by global
financial conglomerates. Discount brokers (such as E-Trade, Scottrade,
and TD Ameritrade) have taken a large share of the business by
offering highly discounted commissions, but the companies do not offer
investment advice in return--all they do is execute orders.
The beginning stockbroker’s first priority is learning the market. One
broker said, “First you have to decide whether you have an interest in
the stock market. This will determine how well you’ll do. If you’re
just interested in making money you won’t get very far.” Stockbrokers
spend their time in a fast-paced office, usually working from nine to
five, unless they are just starting out or have to meet with clients.
The new broker spends many hours on the phone building up a client
base. Sometimes brokers teach financial education classes to expose
themselves to potential investors who may then become their clients.
