Dealer

Dealer		An individual or firm that acts as a principal or counterparty to a transaction.
Additional comments: Principals take one side of a position, hoping to earn a spread (profit) by closing out the position in a subsequent trade with another party. In contrast, a broker is an individual or firm that acts as an intermediary, putting together buyers and sellers for a fee or commission.
