2) What particular area of investment do they specialize in?
You and the broker need to have the same interest in
common. If you are looking to invest in aggressive tech
firms and the stock broker only want to invest in
established firms from the sixties. Then the stock broker is
not for you.
3) What type of client are they most effective with?
I hired a Merrill Lynch stock broker to invest $500 in a
company that the shares fell from$50.00 to 60 cents per
share. The broker stated he would buy the share but not to
call him due to the fact that he only worked with clients that
invest $10,000 per transaction.
This was a bad beginning to a relationship that would have
been for life. I now use Edward Jones the broker believes
in dollar cost averaging and will invest a few dollars to
thousands. The broker is looking to build a long term
relationship not a quick commission.
4) How would you describe your client base? Are the stock
brokers clients professors and teachers or brain
surgeons? Are they millionaires before they invest or
construction workers trying to secure retirement? You want
to feel unique and a valued customer by your investment
firm.
5) How much net profit do they produce for their clients?
Does the stocker make good investment decisions or are
the always dangling off a cliff try to get rich by investing
foolishly. You want a broker that has consistent positive
returns year end and year out.
Before you hire a broker
Review their credentials and experience.
Find out how he gets paid.
Ask for personal referrals.
Check his investment record.
Visit his office and check for organization.
Finding the perfect stock broker is essential in building a
profitable long term portfolio. It’s your future pick your
broker wisely.

Warren Buffett is the greatest investor in history. I have always been
a big fan of Warren Buffett; his philosophy, his history and his rise to
become the world’s richest man. Warren Buffett is Chairman of
Berkshire Hathaway. I always admired how he studied companies
and acquired them, then holding the shares while growing his
wealth. Warren Buffett’s shareholders letters of Berkshire Hathaway
are regarded as the most important and informative bodies of work
ever written on business, corporate management and investing.
You should study each letter and try to understand the thought
process of the world’s greatest investor.
Topics covered in the shareholders letters are as follows:
Acquisitions, business managers, compensation policy, corporate
management, diversification, GAAP, incremental capital, insurance
industry, investment philosophy, mergers, portfolio management,
share repurchases, and stock options.
