Stock best answer:

Answer by bubba gump
I will answer this, but it will lead o more questions on your part. If you are age 16+ seek an internship at a brokerage.

Stocks are an equity ownership in a company.

A broker is someone whom acts as an intermediary/go between for those wanting to purchase stock and those wanting to sell stock.

To become a stock broker, in the past you needed to have general working knowledge of investment products in addition to having exceptional customer service skills, and being able to sell your services.

Most are required to become licensed, and registered with FINRA. Additional requirements vary by brokerage.

I think a local "branch" of a brokerage or full service bank would be an ideal start for you.

Bank of America
Wellsfargo
Citibank

The Stock Exchange, NYC

The Stock Exchange is a hard shot to take as it's hard to back away to capture the entire image. I was waiting for the security guards outside of the exchange to tackle me as I set up my tripod on one of the ledges across the street. The sun was coming through the buildings at the perfect time as I scrambled to take this shot before it passed. I felt as if the heavens were pointing a spotlight creating a very dramatic lighting effect in this photo. I decided to keep parts of it very dark to emphasize the mood of that very second. I hope you enjoy.

TIP - Most people are probably aware of this but I usually take 3 exposures (-2, 0 +2) which i find to suffice in most situations, however when you have a strong light, direct sunlight or a very bright reflection it's best to take an even lower exposure (-4) to capture the detail around the reflection. Just an idea.
