Series 24: Prohibition On Spinning

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

Prohibition on Spinning

Rule 5131 prohibits the act of spinning. Spinning is when a member firm promises shares of an IPO to persons who are in a position to direct securities business to the firm in the future. Prior to the rule, investment banks would commonly offer shares of “hot IPOs” to officers and directors of companies in exchange for investment banking business.

The rule explicitly prohibits members from offering shares to officers and directors who have used the broker-dealer for investment banking services in the last 12 months, plan to use them in the next 3 months, or have stated or implied a commitment to use them in the future. FINRA extends this prohibition to persons materially supported by such executive officers and directors.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

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 was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

I had tried another learning system before Solomon and walked into the Series 24 unprepared and subsequently failed. After using the Solomon system for three weeks, taking full advantage of the app on my cell phone I walked into my second attempt very prepared for the type of questions I was going to see. Not only did I pass, I did so with confidence. Thanks so much Solomon!

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.

Joseph Shapiro, Edward Jones Investments, St. Louis, MO

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.

Kris Nyden, Seattle, WA

I stuck to the outline day by day and it really helped me with sticking to a routine and curriculum. I passed the Series 24 on my 1st try! Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Securities Industry.
