Broker basics: where do I start? | Danielle Ecuyer

Choices, choices, choices! You’ve decided to take the plunge and buy shares, but how? Where? Well, if you’ve got a bank, you’ve probably got a broker! In this episode, we’ll break down what a broker is, discuss how you can work out which broker is for you, and answer some of your broker questions. We want to debunk the classic Wall Street image - because these days buying or selling shares isn’t necessarily an old dude calling you up and asking if he can look after your money… In fact, it can be as simple as downloading an app, filling out some details and just... clicking buy! Don’t believe us? In this episode we're joined by Danielle Ecuyer, author and founder of Shareplicity, who answers all our burning questions.
