So you want to Know How to Become a Stockbroker

So you want to know how to Become a Stock Broker

STEP 1: Begin to organize for your Brokerage career in high school by taking courses in math, economics and business. And even with a small sized float, you can manage your own stock portfolio (in a parent’s name if you are under 18) allowing you to learn about diverse investments and their returns. Do learn how-to-invest time.

STEP 2: Join or start a Stocks and Bonds Investment Club, which compares dissimilar investment opportunities, analyzes results and jointly invests its funds, $20 bucks each is all you need. Re-invest your gains or distribute your profits.

STEP 3: Go to College or University. Most brokers are College graduates with a degree in finance, economics or business. Real business experience or a strong desire is all-it-takes to capture the attention of the Investment Firm you target.

STEP 4: Pass the Canadian Securities Course, administered by the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI). All provinces require the Financial Planning Course be complete and that you pass the Examination within three years. The Canadian Securities Institute also requires ongoing continuing education… forever.

STEP 5: Be advised to take advantage of on-the-job training, obtainable through most brokerage firms via their sales assistants programs, preparing you for the above exams’, a process that takes four to six months (some never pass). It is self directed!

STEP 6: A person passing the mandatory exams, becomes a Stock Broker, a registered representative agent of his or her sponsoring firm. Now garner support from your contacts and join the Chamber of Commerce… and network… network… network.

STEP 7: Anticipate a very competitive work environment after being employed. Firms often hire a plethora of graduating college and university students as juniors; with the expectation or knowledge that a large percentage of you will ‘wash-out‘ during the gruelling early months of training, while building your clientele or book.

STEP 8 or ∞: Emphasize your studies and work experience in finance, economics and/or business when writing your résumé. A professional, aggressive image is crucial at the sponsoring dealers interview, where prospective employers will be testing your drive, evaluating your resolve and your business adviser savvy.

Due-diligence, is the Key to being a best-of-class broker, to the benifit of your client.

Tips & Cautionary Warnings - The Bull and the Bear of it!

* Success in the brokerage business is qualified and quantified by sales volumes. It can be a realistic and rewarding career move for someone changing over from a sales position in real estate, insurance or the banking business and the Canadian Bond Market for example.

* Sample firsthand the products you’d be brokering by visiting any brokerage firm, agent, promoter, advocate, bank or mutual fund Web site. Also, visit job fairs where securities firms are recruiting and talk to a real live stock broker. Get live data in due-diligence, business and life.

* Negotiate a sales assistant position, become a Junior, with the right to have a number of your own clients… why not get paid while you take the course, become an advisor, and build your book.

* A Stock Broker, as in any sales position, needs to be thick skinned to succeed, and especially surviving those lean early years of long hours… disappointment… plain spaghetti dinners… and an acquired and unexpected taste for wiener water…

Project 118 Youth Ranch ; Calgary, Alberta, Canada


Project 118 Youth Ranch: "When a group of concerned parents and community leaders met in November 2000 to find a better way to help high-risk teens, they wanted to begin by opposing any labels. Even naming the organization risked stigmatizing the families who would participate. The conference room was numbered 118, so by infusing simplicity with great meaning Project (one-eighteen) was created.

Project 118 Children's Services Society is a privately funded, non-profit organization registered under the Societies Act of Alberta, and as a Charity under the Income Tax Act."

Stock Market bonds

Stock Market bondsUNDERSTANDING INVESTMENT INFORMATION
Whenever you are thinking of making a new investment, you should first do some Due Diligence, research about the company and the investment. A good place to start is the investment prospectus available through your broker or agent. The prospectus or OM is a document describing an investment offered for sale. It usually contains a short statement of the objective of the company or mutual fund. It also contains a financial statement showing assets and liability, performance over a number of years, and any fees the investor must pay. Remember though that past performance is not a guarantee of future success. REITs are good and there is The Titan REIT up-coming next month sometime Contact Datalive@Gmail.com
