1 stockbroker: "Stockbroker" is the right answer. A "stockbroker" is a professional agent for people who want to buy or sell stocks and shares on the financial market. In the dialogue, Bill tells us that he is a "stockbroker". Another example: "My husband left me for his stockbroker. They're very happy together, and rich".

3 triple: "Triple" is the term we were looking for. To "triple (a number)" is to multiply it by three.

Another example: "Sales of Tiger Lily have tripled in the past year".
