Consolidated Tape
When an exchange-listed equity security is traded, it is generally reported to the consolidated tape . It is called the “consolidated” tape because it consolidates trade information for most listed securities from every exchange in the country. The particular exchange where the trade took place is not recorded on the tape.
Trades on the floor of an exchange must be reported as soon as the trade is executed. The tape continually displays last transaction information in the following manner: (number of round lots) (ticker symbol) (transaction price).
For example, 20s WMT 54.08 would mean the last transaction was 20 round lots, or 2,000 shares, of Walmart, sold for $54.08 per share. When there is no number ahead of the ticker symbol, you can assume that one round lot of 100 shares was sold. Trades over 10,000 shares and stocks trading at a price greater than $175 show the number of shares, not the number of round lots.

What are people saying?
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!!!

I
would like to say that Solomon test prep had the most varied and comprehensive
test bank I have seen. The questions ranged in difficulty and the answer
feedback was so detailed, that I felt that I was mastering concepts rather than
trying to pin down certain facts in a question just to get the 'one,' answer. I
saw many iterations of the sample examinations, and with the courage to keep
clicking next and learning, I passed with a score I'm more than happy to claim.
Also, the staff are very responsive. I'll be coming back.

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!

This is my fourth time using Solomon's exam materials (Series 99, 7, 63, and now the 24)....and I PASSED once again on my first try. Thank you Solomon- your exam question simulator was extremely helpful!

Even though there is no such
thing as a guaranteed success in the securities industry, there is a likelihood
of strong returns if you are able to make the right risk / reward choices at
the right time.
If you are taking a test one
of those choices is Solomon materials. Just follow their guidance. It worked
for me, 3 times in a row, 7, 63, 24!

Just wanted to say
thank you and give you a good review. I actually found that your test questions
were harder than the actual exam and the explanations and the ability to create
tests of all of my wrong answers helped me focus on my weak areas of the exam.
I passed the first time and don't believe I couldn't have done it without your
test bank. Thanks again.
