A day in life label
Stock brokers invest in stock markets for individuals or corporations. So a lot of time of the day is spent in finding new clients with funds to invest in the stock market. Stock brokers also do their research, analyse companies and investment opportunities and stocks to buy/sell or hold. Before the market opens they also devise trading strategies. The time for which the market is open is spent in monitoring the market and in making the actual transactions and coordinating with the clients for their decisions. After the market time, they have to make trading reports and it is again time for researching the stocks and getting new clients.
