How do I find a broker for a specific stock?
Coronos asked:
How do I find a stock broker that offers a specific stock? I have my eye on one, but my current broker doesn’t offer it. I’m assuming my only option is to find the right broker, but that seems like a needle-in-the-haystack type job. Are there any sources that have a search-able database of brokers and stocks?
To clarify: My current broker is an online Forex broker. They offer trades on Nasdaq, Dow Jones, S&P, and DAX, but only a limited list of about 30 individual stocks.

Your broker should be able to trade any normal stock. I would use an online site like etrade. It is probably cheaper and that sounds weird.

Yes, I would agree that most reputable stock brokers should be able to offer you more than 30 stocks. He must not be licenced to offer a wide range of products.
You can do it yourself online or find a full service advisor.
