Dealer

A financial intermediary who buys or sells securities for his own account and not on behalf of clients as stockbrokers do. A dealer thus acts as a principal in a security transaction. A dealer resells the securities to clients at approved margin above the transaction price. The margin is what the dealer gets since he does not earn a commission.
