Margin Accounts

Investors are allowed to purchase securities on margin if they open a margin account. Buying securities on margin means to purchase them with credit. The investor pays for part of the price of the security and the broker-dealer lends the investor funds for the rest. The loans must be secured by the customer with money or securities and placed in a margin account held by the lender.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 gave the Federal Reserve Board the power to regulate margin requirements. In Regulation T, the Fed lays out a set of initial margin requirements and describes how a margin account is to be maintained. For reg

I used Solomon to study for the 26 and most recently the 24. The material is layered in way that makes it manageable to digest and the instructor response time and explanations are outstanding. I passed both on the first attempt!

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!

I stuck to the outline day by day and it really helped me with sticking to a routine and curriculum. I passed the Series 24 on my 1st try! Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Securities Industry.

Rima Mehta, PNC Investments, Charlotte, NC

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!

I passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!
