In my experience most of the stock brokers I have known since the late 1950's have been commission driven. They do not eat, or remain employed, unless they sell. Many want to obtain the largest commissions they can get, given the opportunity, like car salesmen.
A few years ago I asked my primary broker who I have known almost 25 years which client of his was most successful at investing. He hardly paused before he said a bookie he knew who timed his investments - in and out - of gambling stocks.
