stockbroker
Wall Street middleman
A stockbroker is a professional who buys and sells stocks and other securities on behalf of clients, typically working for a brokerage firm.
Stockbrokers earn commissions on trades and may also provide investment advice: My stockbroker recommended diversifying into bonds.
The role has diminished as online trading platforms let individuals manage their own portfolios.
