Series 65: Second Market/Negotiated Market

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Second Market/Negotiated Market

The second market (not to be confused with the “secondary” market) refers to the decentralized buying and selling of securities without one central market maker. This type of market, with no “auctioneer” like the Designated Market Maker on the floor of the NYSE, is referred to as a negotiated market. The second market includes both over-the-counter securities and the NASDAQ. This is an important and highly testable point. Instead of a physical place with a single market maker, the second market consists of electronic systems connecting multiple market makers who post competing bid and ask prices online. Orders are filled either automatically, with the computer matching the best quotes first, or by private negotiation. The second market is composed of exchange-listed securities that trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange and securities that trade on over-the-counter markets, such as the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTC

Awesome customer service and material. Will definitely be a returning customer

Michael, MM Financial Planning. New York, NY

I learned the material quickly and passed the Series 65 with flying colors. It was fun to listen while driving, and it was easy to absorb the information—just like being taught by an entertaining young professor!

Chris McConnell, Adondo Corporation, Wayne, PA

I passed my series 65 exam on the first attempt! The books and sample questions are always very helpful. I leveraged this course with another program that was offered to me. I did mainly use this one and found the material very helpful. Overall, I would say the test questions that were in the book and online were much more difficult than the exam itself. I do like the crash course piece, but would also love the option of a instructional video which is what the other course offered. I learn not just by readying, but visually as well. The combination of the two were very helpful, but overall I felt the material, especially the sample test questions, were more comprehensive. Thank you for the material.

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.

My third exam passed with Solomon, first the Series 6 and the Series 63, this time the Series 65 - just passed today! Highly recommend for any exam prep you need! Thank you again guys!

Brad Eiden, Nationwide Advisory, Louisville, KY

My oldest son purchased your Solomon audio exam guide to pass his Series 7, and I did the same for the Series 65 exam at his recommendation. Although I am 62 and have been out of college for forty(40) years, I passed my Series 65 exam on my first try. This would NOT have been possible without your excellent study materials. Thank you! for the service you provide to all aspiring test takers where so much is on the line!

Most Sincerely,
