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".
2 return: "Return" is the best choice here. To "make a return (on an investment)" is to make a profit as a result of an action. Example: "I was right to buy shares in Pear Computers: I've made a 22% return on my money".
3 triple: "Triple" is the term we were looking for. To "triple (a number)" is to multiply it by three. You might also like to know that "to double" something is to multiply it by two, and to quadruple a number is to multiply it by four. Another example: "Sales of Tiger Lily have tripled in the past year".
