3.7.6. Margin Requirements for Credit Default Swaps

A derivative is a security that is not itself an asset but whose value depends upon (is derived from) the value of an asset. If you own an option, for example, you do not own an asset; you own the right to buy (or sell) an asset depending on its future price movements. Likewise, if you buy a credit default swap (CDS), you do not buy an asset; you buy protection for an asset you already own in case it should default. In exchange for this credit protection, you provide the seller with a stream of monthly payments.

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

Finally! Having used the study material provided by my firm, I couldn't get over the passing level. Came out of pocket for Solomon, and passed [the Series 24] on the first effort - Thank you!

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

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!

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

Thank you Solomon! I was able to pass the SIE, 7, 63 and 24 in a relatively short time period. The practice exams with answers really helped and when I had a question for The Professor, I always received a quick and accurate response. Solomon is definitely the way to go.
