Chapter Four

Simple Options and the Futures Market

Options in financial markets have been around for a long time. However, until relatively recently they were bought and sold exclusively over-the-counter. This changed soon after the futures exchanges expanded their commodities trading to include financial products. In 1973 the Chicago Board of Trade organized a new exchange for trading options on stocks. Called the Chicago Board Options Exchange, it standardized the terms of options contracts and assumed the credit risk of the option writer.

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

I used Solomon Exam Prep for both the 6 and the 63 and passed both of them on the first try. For the Series 6 I scored a 92 and for the Series 63 I scored a 75. The book was very insightful and helped quite a bit with passing, so thank you to your company.

Austin Kurey, Denver, CO

Solomon Exam Prep was great! I passed my Series 22 with their materials. I failed my first time taking the exam using the Securities Institute of America's material. I was completely shocked because I did well in all my practice exams. So, I did extra research and found Solomon Exam Prep. It was exactly like the FINRA outline which was perfect. Highly suggest Solomon Exam Prep for Series 22.

Becky Eriksson, Cabin Securities. Los Angeles, CA

I haven't taken an exam in about 15 years and I'm happy to report that I passed the Series 50 Municipal Advisor exam on my first attempt. The material was extremely thorough and comprehensive. The online questions, quizzes and exams were very comparable in difficulty to the actual exam, thus providing the foundation for my success. Thank you for your guidance.
