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.

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 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!

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.

I wanted to let you know I passed the exam [Series 24] this morning! The practice exams were invaluable. Thank you for your extra help and suggestions. I have recommended this to two of my co-workers who will be taking the Series 7 this year. I will say, the 24 was worded so tricky. And so much irrelevant info put into the questions. I had to write down pieces of the question to get the gist of what it was asking. Very purposfully confusing. But it's over and I'm thankful for your product. Thx again

Jeremy, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for your wonderful product! Your study guides helped me pass the 7, 66, 24, 52, and 53 all within 2 and a half months. Thank you again!
