stock broker
Wall Street intermediary
A stock broker is a person or firm that buys and sells securities on behalf of clients, earning commissions on transactions.
The term dates from when trading happened on exchange floors, though most brokerage now occurs electronically.
My stock broker recommended diversifying into bonds.
Full-service brokers offer investment advice; discount brokers simply execute trades.
