I gotta know... was there ever a reason to accomplish The Cross other than to generate a commission? Or have I stumbled upon The Dilemma?

Certainly, it could very well be the case that person A wanted to divest themselves of a given security and you could find that person B (also your client) could actually use that stock for their investment purposes.

Sometimes, like in the case of an IPO, a stock could be in very high demand (i.e. expensive) and your client could decide that they wanted to get out of it before it did something bad, like tank or flatten out in value while you have people dying to get on the roller coasters. Some IPOs could be crazy.

One of the ones that came out while I was in training was Circuit City, which was IPO's at something ridiculous like less than 40 cents a share, and that one went up like a rocket and stayed there.
