Marginable Securities
Not all securities can be purchased on margin. NASDAQ and all exchange-listed securities are allowed, as are U.S. government and municipal bonds. Over-the-counter securities are allowed if they are listed on the Federal Reserve marginable securities list.
However, new issues have to be publicly traded at least 30 days before they can be purchased on margin. Mutual fund shares are not eligible for trading on margin, but they can be used as collateral on a loan after 30 days. Penny stocks are not eligible, nor are OTC stocks that have fewer than four market makers regularly submitting bids and offers, or that have fewer than 400,000 shares outstanding.
Remember that non-marginable securities do not add to your buying power.

Feels so good to have
passed! (Series 7) It was about as challenging as I thought it would be and I'm glad the
study material prepared me for understanding the concepts, and not just
memorizing terms and formulas. Only changed two of the 15 answers for questions
I flagged for review and finished it with more than 90 minutes to spare. The
relief I felt upon seeing "Pass" was awesome!

Completing
the SIE was a requirement for my current position. I looked around at different
materials and started with Kaplan. The material was dry and seemed to have many
errors in it. I decided to scrap that and move on to Solomon Exam Prep which I
learned about from Reddit. The reviews were outstanding so I decided to give it
a try. After going through the material once I felt beyond confident to take
the exam. The study guide, audio book, exam simulator, and videos were
extremely well done. After two weeks of reviewing and acing practice tests, I
took my actual SIE exams and flew through it with about 1/3 of the time remaining
when I finished. The preparation from Solomon Exam Prep helped me gain the
confidence and understanding I needed to pass the exam on the first try!

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the team at Solomon. I've used your materials to pass the SIE and Series 6, both on the first try, and today with your help, I have passed the Series 26 exam on the first try as well!
Thank you for the excellent materials and assistance!

Excellent! The Solomon curriculum prepared me
well enough to make me feel comfortable during the actual exam. Practice
questions and mock exams were challenging enough to test my knowledge but not
too challenging to the point where I was discouraged.

Solomon Exam Prep helped me pass the Series SIE, 63, 65 and 7 exams. The study materials are easy to understand and practice exams were very helpful, especially with the passing probability to gauge my exam readiness. The instructor for all web classes were really worth it as I could get directly answers for my questions. I couldn't have pass these exams without Solomon's help. Thank you!

PASSED SIE ON MY FIRST TRY!!
Initially started with a competitor but I was referred to study through Solomon instead. After comparing the two, I stuck to Solomon for 6 weeks straight. The material and practice q’s gave me a better understanding and helped me prepare for the actual exam. Thank you!!
