Insider Trading Penalties
Insider trading is subject to a maximum civil penalty of treble damages (three times the amount of the benefit obtained by the violation). “Benefit obtained” means any gain the trader received or any loss the trader may have avoided. The maximum civil penalty that can be imposed on a firm when an employee engages in insider trading is the greater of $1 million or three times the amount of the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the violation.
For more severe instances, the Justice Department may bring criminal charges, carrying maximum penalties of $5 million for each willful violation and/or 20 years in prison. Firms may be fined up to $25 million.

I passed the S24 today with a score of 80. Your study guide is great!!!

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I took another vendors 24 course but it did not
compare to how Solomon Exam Prep for Series 24 prepared me. The material
and practice exams, especially the timed exams, were broken up by
sections, similar to the FINRA Exam. This really helped in allowing me to
understand which section(s) I needed to spend more time on/hit harder.
Thank you Solomon!!!

After trying numerous study materials, Solomon was the key to pass my Series 24. The live class was a perfect complement. Thank you Karen for your assistance!
