Fill or Kill[edit]

This category could be expanded. Populating this category with just a handfull of names does not provide sufficient scope. If you prefer this sub-category over Category:stock brokers, you may wish to undertake populating it through a search under Stockbroker then "Toolbox" then "What links here". Several hundred stockbrokers are listed, many of whom are Americans.

However...[edit]

Be very careful of those you describe as "American" stockbrokers. Does that mean American by nationality, or "American stockbroker" by virtue of having worked (exclusively/primarilty) in the American capital markets? That question might not be very significant in the case of, say, musical composers. A "Hungarian Composer" is still Hungarian, wherever he works. But what about "Hungarian stockbroker" if the Hungarian citizen worked his entire life (and made his noteworthy contributions, with noteworthy contacts and personal/professional associations) on the NYSE? Does directing someone to "Category:Hungarian Stockbrokers" provide meaningful information, if the individual never worked on the Budapest Stock Exchange? For that reason, I think it best to reconsider the value of this sub-category. Having one general search tool Category:stock brokers for all stockbrokers would seem to provide greater clarity and value. Gulbenk (talk) 18:54, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
