The first thing might be to realize what a stock broker is .... he/she is a
salesperson of positions in the markets and his/her knowledge of the
markets or individual investment instruments and equities is relegated to
the status of "unimportant" due to the shortage of left over time from
his/her selling activities. Brokerages have "experts" to tell you what to
hawk and what to dump and you make your money shoveling that advice into
the open mouths of customers. (I am not intimating that such advice is
often, or always bad, but I would suggest that it is often motivated by
self interest of the trading firm and what an individual broker might think
is a good investment is of little interest to the firm.
Anyway, I wish you well with your new endeavor. I have many friends who
are brokers and most do quite well for themselves and their families. Hone
your salesmanship skills..
All best,
Bob
