Marginable Securities
Not all securities can be purchased on margin. NASDAQ and all listed securities are allowed, as are U.S. government and municipal bonds. OTC 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, nor are put or call options. The premiums of puts and calls must be paid in full; though, they must be recorded within a margin account.

TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

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.

Just passed the Series 24 on my first attempt. Not an easy exam so put the time in. I used the Video Lectures and the Exam Simulator from Solomon. Great resources of information!

I passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!

I took my Series 24 on July 28 and passed!! I had not passed 2 prior Series 24 exams and was down to my last attempt. A fellow principal on my team who had not passed his Series 24 his first time told me about the Solomon practice tests and how they helped him. It was such a big help for me passing exam as the questions were structured more like the real exam than any other practice tests I’ve taken. I have since gone to other employees at my firm for other tests, such as the Series 7, SIE among others and have told them about the Solomon test materials and some of them are now purchasing Solomon as well.

I would just like to say that Solomon’s customer service was excellent. The material was clear and easy to understand and I feel that it prepared me extremely well for my exam. I found the study outline to be the most helpful in keeping me on track. I would definitely refer the material to anyone taking the Series 24.
Thank you to the Solomon team for helping me pass my 24!
