Stock brokerage is the matching up of the buyers and sellers of stocks. A transaction on a stock exchange has to be made between two members of the exchange; you cannot go to the London Stock Exchange and buy a stock. You must purchase that stock through a broker who is a member, and that activity is called stock brokerage.
