Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

7.2.1.2.1. Long Positions in Margin Accounts

When a customer buys 1,000 shares on margin, we say that the customer is “long” 1,000 shares.

Suppose a customer purchases 1,000 shares at $60/share on margin. The long market value (LMV) of the stock is $60,000. Regulation T requires the customer to put down at least 50% of this amount ($30,000) to buy the securities. The following equation is useful for understanding margin:

LMV	–	debit balance	=	equity
$60,000	–	$30,000	=	$30,000

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I passed the test [the Series 65] with flying colors. Your study material, particularly the book and the online exams were the difference maker. Other individuals in my firm used exam prep courses from other companies and unfortunately did not pass the exam. I am confident in saying that these materials were the difference maker. Thank you for creating such a great product. Everyone in my firm will use your simulators going forward.

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

Bryan Acuto, Trust Advisory Group, Woburn, MA

I passed the series 65! I used the Solomon exam prep Material to take the series 65. I had previously used the Kaplan material and did not find the materials to be that good. The book, audio tape and exam question bank were amazing. It was hard to go to the center wearing a mask during this Coronavirus time period. I don’t think I would’ve passed this Series 65 without Solomon. Thank you

The Series 65 was a tough exam, but thanks to Solomon I passed at the first attempt. The Solomon Exam Prep Course covered every single aspect in detail. The material was not only important to pass the exam, but it is extremely helpful in the job as investment adviser representative.

Just wanted you to know, I passed the Series 65 exam on the first attempt. Your book was easy and enjoyable to read, all of the important information was very well explained. But I found your online quizzes and exams extremely helpful in getting the material entrenched in my memory. I was very comfortable with the format and wording of the questions on the actual exam after drilling with your online program. Thank you for enabling me to move to the next level of my career.
