2.7.3. Reporting System for Bonds

Unlike stocks, bonds are not generally traded on exchanges. Instead, bond trading takes place directly between broker-dealers, banks, mutual funds, and other market makers in a decentralized, over-the-counter market. Bonds have not been well suited to exchange trading because they are less uniform and more varied than stocks. A large corporation might have dozens of different bond issues. In addition, there are government and agency bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage and collateralized debt obligation bonds, and foreign bonds.

The Transaction Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) is FINRA’s automated system for reporting trades in OTC debt securities. TRACE does not accept quotes or execute trades; it only reports completed trades. Both the buy and the sell sides are required to report e

I would like to say a big thank you to Solomon for helping me pass my Series 14 exam. I took this exam the first time and missed passing by few marks. I was really sad and discouraged so reached out to Jeremy Solomon and he really took the time to talk to me and provide his guidance and advice. He also provided me with additional resources immediately to help with my second attempt. I recently passed this exam. Their study material is easy to understand and the Online Exam Simulator also has a lot of questions chapter-wise which were very helpful. Their customer service has been amazing and very responsive. Thank you Solomon. I will definitely recommend Solomon for anyone planning to take this exam.

I took the Series 82 just four weeks after passing the SIE. I followed the study plan, took tons of the great practice tests, got great advice from Karen, and everything worked out well. It was literally the perfect test prep experience. The materials themselves were not overly long as with other groups, it was the exactly right amount, and the Exam Simulator is just awesome, best one of its kind I've ever used. 100% rating. Thank you, Solomon!

I passed the 82 and 63 within a few months coming from no financial background. The exam simulator is fantastic and has a large pool of questions.

I would definitely recommend Solomon study materials. "Ask the Professor" was a great tool, and Karen answered my questions faster than I could keep up! I was easily able to pass the Series 79 sticking to Solomon's 6 week study program.

Super fast response time to emailed questions, clear explanations in the textbook and in the ungraded practice exams, and unlimited practice tests made Solomon a great resource for preparing for my SIE. Passed on first try!

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!
