No-Knowing and understanding what is happening in the financial markets depends almost entirely on understanding the history of market cycles-stock market cycles, business cycles, and interest rate cycles. How these three interact to influence securities prices in an environment of fluctuating exchange rates and many other factors is what makes the market move. Many brokers/traders that you mention may be studied in these things, some may not. Just having a securities license(s) does not scratch the surface on what one needs to know to earn above-average returns in today's markets-in fact most simple academic literature teaches that one cannot-hence the inclination for many unseasoned advisors to guide investors towards passively managed products that guarantee returns that may barely keep pace with inflation. Understanding the markets takes not only a lifetime of study but also looking back into history, for instance: What were the factors leading up to the stock market crash of 1929? Why did the market trade virtually flat from around 1966 to around 1983? Why is silver one of the last up movers during a bull market in equities? Market professionals who have researched topics such as this stand a much better chance of reacting to global economic events than ones who have not-regardless of whether they are in the business or not. |

You only need knowledge of how securities work and the time to RESEARCH. I'd listen to a Financial Analyst any day over some broker.
Little known fact:
Brokers who work for brokerage houses (AG Edwards, Smith Barney, Edward Jones, etc) actually get told what to sell to certain clients based upon the client's net worth and how risk adverse they are. Big mutual fund companies like Fidelity influence brokers like Pharmaceutical reps do to doctors. Brokers are good Salesmen and good at selling what the home office tells them to. |

no...you just have to study and research on your own and learn about the stock market. There are lots of people out there who know a lot about investments and invest their own money into the stock market without a broker or trader. |

No. A stockbroker is only a salesperson. Its not much different than being a car salesman. You dont have to know anything about the car to sell it. You would be better off talking to a mechanic (an independent one) about a car. Or talking to a real estate agent about a house. You're better off getting an independent inspection. Its the same concept with investments. An analyst knows more about them, whether they have a fair and unbiased opinion or not. |

I was never a stock broker and to be honest I had no interest in finance either. So for me, investing was a habit that I had to cultivate. A good habit I may add :)).
Also, many a times people feel they need to be good at math for investing. And no you do not need Algebra or Geometry either. Just the basic concepts will be good to get started.
I think All one needs is some good common sense, good information which is available online to evaluate performances of mutual funds, bonds etc. Gut feeling/Intuition - this is from my own personal experience and then just start making informed,smart investment decisions.
Hope this helps. |

Absolutely not.
Step 1: Build a diverse portfolio of mutual funds. Buy into bond funds, stock funds, funds that invest in real estate, etc. Build the portfolio as broadly as possible. Throw in as many index funds as you can find. Those are funds that track an index and are not "actively managed" by someone. The costs are low and they tend to perform just as well as actively managed funds.
Step 2: Keep investing in your broad portfolio on a monthly basis.
Step 3: Give it time.
Step 4: Profit! |

no of course not. A stockbroker has an advantage because he is in an investment/trading environment, where many people can have a good idea at any moment in time. They are also closer to a lot of stocks as they are trading/investing in many stocks for their clients.
Also their clients often come up with investment ideas as they are from all walks of life.
Stockbrokers also have connections iwith other brokers so there is a great expanse of knowledge. |
