Series 65: Second Market/Negotiated Market

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Second Market/Negotiated 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. The second market includes both over-the-counter securities and the NASDAQ. This is an important and highly testable point. Instead of a physical place with a single market maker, the second market 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 and securities that trade on over-the-counter markets, such as the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC

Great study materials. The program provided the information needed to successfully pass the Series 65. Thanks Solomon!

Hi Jeremy, I passed! Thanks for all your hard work and support to help me get through the Series 65! I went from scoring a 65 [using a competitor's material] to a 79 percent [with your Exam Prep]. I felt your material covered the exam perfectly. I went out of my way of actually learning instead memorizing. I used the book and the audio book as well as your online test prep. I am glad that is over with! Thanks again, best wishes to you as well.

I passed the Series 65 on the first try and I would absolutely give credit to this tool. We all learn in vastly different ways, so having the options available for a study guide, audiobook, video training, flash cards, practice tests - and ALL of the other resources available was critical to my success. I've been out of school for over a decade and remembering HOW to study was hard. I'm so glad I had all of these options.

I passed my Series 65 today with an 80, first effort! Not only was the material well laid out, but if it's possible, the Solomon prep made the material palatable and understandable. Amazing!!! I have used Kaplan in the past as well as STC, which are both very good, but I chose Solomon because it had audio downloads. With an hour commute, I was able to study during that otherwise wasted time. Additionally, the "Ask the Professor" and live chat features were excellent!! Questions were answered virtually immediately by personal email and the author/owner Jeremy Solomon actually called me to help me and cheer me on! I didn't think this kind of customer service and general human kindness existed anymore. He even asked me to let him know personally my results which, thanks to this program, I am on the other side of this very difficult exam. Thank you Solomon Exam Prep!!!!!

After failing the SIE with a different study company, I passed after using Solomon! I then passed the S6, S63 and S65 on the first try after studying with Solomon materials! I loved how easy the material was to comprehend and the practice tests were amazing! I felt well prepared for each test! Thank you Solomon!
