Originally, a stock jobber was a market maker on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), prior to the dematerialisation of shares and the advent of electronic trading in 1986. In South Africa the term "jobber" came to be used for private investors who traded at the JSE buying and selling shares for very quick gains and losses. Thus jobbing means short-term trading rather than investing.
