A broker is a person that offers deals, and make arrangements so deals can be worked out. The broker most often does not own the deal, an insurance broker does not provide INSURANCE, a stock broker does not own the stock being sold. These people are independent salespeople.
Perhaps there need a service that provides the buying public with the information they need to know as they proceed to enter into transactions.

The word broker may be connected through its Anglo-Norman source, brocour, abrocour, with Spanish alboroque, meaning "ceremony or ceremonial gift after the conclusion of a business deal." If this connection does exist, "business deal" is the notion shared by the Spanish and Anglo-Norman words because brocour referred to the middleman in transactions. The English word broker is first found in Middle English in 1355, several centuries before we find instances of its familiar compounds pawnbroker, first recorded in 1687, and stockbroker, first recorded in 1706.

The broker is the one who not only invests but also makes deals or "brokers" deals with the companies which he invests in for you. Hence the most of his job is brokering...not investing.
YOU invest....HE brokers.

A broker by definition, is the middleman, between the buyer and the seller, And this fits, because he does not own the stock you buy, and does not buy the stock you sell. He is only the agent that facilitates the trade.

Broker means to barter or deal. However, my experience has shown that they left me broker than I was before I hired one.

because if you don't know what you're doing when trading he can make you broke in the act of broking or breaking the bank.
