Series 65: Combined Positions In Margin Accounts

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Combined Positions in Margin Accounts

A combined account is an account that contains both long and short positions in it. To calculate the combined equity within the account, calculate the equity of both the long and short positions and add them together.

• Example: Combined account.

John Robert’s account contains the following:

LMV = $65,000

SMV = $20,000

Debit balance = $40,000

Credit balance = $35,000

To find the account’s equity, start by using the relevant equations:

LMV	–	debit balance	=	equity
$65,000	–	$40,000	=	$25,000

credit balance	–	SMV	=	equity
$35,000	–	$20,000	=	$15,000

I passed the Series 65 with a 92% thanks to the Solomon practice exams. The questions on the practice exams were very similar to what I actually encountered on the actual exam, and the ability to take unlimited practice exams really built my knowledge and confidence. I highly recommend this product to anyone studying for the Series 65.

I took the Series 65 Exam and passed with a good score. Thank you for all the materials. I did have to put a lot of study time into it but with hard work, your materials and prayer I passed!

Carla Martinez, GoodFuture, Laguna Beach, CA

I took the exam three days after we spoke. I had to drive 75 miles to the test center. I finished the exam in a little under two hours and did not want to second guess myself in changing any of my answers. Upon completion of the exam, and subsequent grading I saw a 65 on the screen and I couldn't believe I did so poorly. However, the 65 I saw stood for the Series 65 not my grade and several lines below was my grade which was an 87. Thus I passed with a minimum amount of study looking over your online exam simulator. The questions were very similar to your review questions and I am sure that a candidate who reviews your questions and understands the application will have no problem passing the exam. Thanks for a great product.

My name is Michael Urbanski, CPA and I was able to pass the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. For me, I like to study from all the credible resources I can find. Using exam simulators and exposing yourself to as many sample exam questions helps to learn how an exam is written. I would recommend using these materials to help YOU pass the exams you chose to sit for.
