Give Up
Give Up
Image 1 Used to describe a securities transaction between three brokers where one "gives up" or excludes their name in the transaction.
Image 2 Pay close attention, here's how it works. Broker X gets a buy order but is too busy to complete the trade, so he gives the order to Floor Broker Y who isn't as busy. Broker Y then buys the stock from Broker Z on behalf of Broker A's client. But Broker A "gives up" his name on the transaction thus the transaction is recorded as if Y & Z made the trade even though the client is Broker A's.

A bit confusing....
