Series 66: Second Market

Taken from our Series 66 Online Guide

Second Market

The second market (not to be confused with the “secondary” market) refers to the decentralized buying and selling of securities without one central market maker. This type of market, with no “auctioneer” like the Designated Market Maker on the floor of the NYSE, is referred to as a negotiated market. This is an important and highly testable point. Instead of a physical place with a single market maker, the second market or over-the-counter (OTC) market, as it is more commonly known, consists of electronic systems connecting multiple market makers who post competing bid and ask prices online. Orders are filled either automatically, with the computer matching the best quotes first, or by private negotiation. The second market is composed of exchange-listed securities that trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange (see below) and securities that trade on over-the-counter markets, such as the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB

I could not have passed without your study program Two secrets.... ipad2 and 1400 practice questions. Scored a 78. [Series 66]

Scott Harrison The Standard Woodland Hills, CA

I passed my 66 with an 83%. The main method of studying was the mp3 that I downloaded and listened to on my commute to and from work. The audio book was the reason I did well. Thanks!

Solomon Exam Prep materials are head and shoulders above any other company's products. I have purchased several other companies' materials and found that when it came time to take the crucial step of practice exams, every other company's answer explanations simply were too brief to be truly educational, or worse, sometimes contradictory to the text. That is when I turned to Solomon Exam Prep. After purchasing their materials, an actual team member emailed me almost every other day to ask how I was doing with my studying and offered assistance if I had questions. With this kind of support, you aren't trying to climb the mountain of becoming licensed alone! Finally, the owner also contacted me several times to thank me for my purchase and to check on my progress. There is no other company out there doing business in this exemplary way. Please be kind to yourself and START with Solomon Exam Prep materials for the BEST of success!

Passed the Series 66 on my first attempt. I thought the exam simulator was perfect. The material gave me the confidence I needed going into test day. I will only use Solomon for any other exams I take in the future. Thank you!

Thanks to you guys, I passed my Series 7 the first time around on Tuesday the 21st. The information given was not only accurate but easy to absorb due to the way the material was set up in your course. I will back to study the Series 66 with you.
