- Was it the case that investors had to call someone (a stock broker) on the phone to buy/sell stocks? Or was it the case that the broker was the one calling the investors?
- If investors were the ones calling the brokers to commit the transaction on behalf of them, how did investors know about the stock prices in real time?
- If it was the brokers calling investors whenever there is a good buy/sell, then why do we need brokers now (online brokers)? I mean, why can't stock exchanges just have their own online platforms that would allow investors to trade without brokerages whatsoever
