Margin Accounts

Investors are allowed to purchase securities on margin if they open a margin account. Buying securities on margin means to purchase them with credit. The investor pays for part of the price of the security and the broker-dealer loans the investor funds for the rest. The loans must be secured by the customer with money or securities and placed in a margin account held by the lender.

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.

Jeremy and team, thank you for your excellent study materials and your availability to provide guidance and feedback as I was able to pass my Series 66 on the first try... The most telling confirmation your training materials are top notch... when I sat for my exam, once the test started and I read the first question, I instantly knew from my studies using the Solomon training, I was going to handle the test. Being able to sense this from the first question was more than comforting. Thank you again!

Passed the Series 66 today! This program really helped me succeed. The pie charts helped me focus on where I needed to put in more work.

Hi Jeremy & Karen, I just passed my 66 today! I'm so thrilled! I had an interruption of my studies a few weeks back due to some distracting issues, but I got back on track, focused hard on the book, the practice quizzes and exams, and I made it! I'm a true believer in the value of your study materials. I'd recommend your firm's materials to anyone that wants to pass the first time they take these really challenging exams. Now I've got my Series 7 and my Series 66, and I did it with the terrific support of this Exam Prep. Thank you for these great study materials.

After hearing horror stories about people struggling and in some cases failing the Series 66, after easily passing the series 7, I invested in both the Series 66 audio book and the Series 66 on-line tests. I passed my Series 66 exam with an 87%!

I sat for the Series 66 on March 16th. I got an 85. I give all kudos to Solomon. The study materials were excellent.
