Series 24: 5.9.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

5.9.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

A stub quote is a quote that is intentionally made so far from the prevailing market to guarantee that it will not be executed. Stub quotes were used in the past by market makers when they did not want to trade at certain prices but needed to meet their two-sided trading obligation. Then on a single day in 2010, a deep drop in the market triggered the execution of a large number of trades against stub quotes.

The SEC responded with a new rule that requires market makers to post continuous two-sided quotes within a certain designated percentage of the NBBO (see table) for NMS securities during market hours. These requirements hold for both Nasdaq and ADF entries. If no NBBO exists for the security, then the price range (known as a price band) must be calculated based on the last transaction.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!

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!

Taking the Series 24 class with Karen Solomon this week helped reinforce the data that I learned, and I passed my exam! The material was thorough and the exam simulator was an excellent tool to test your knowledge. Thank you Karen!

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

Between September 18 and December 3, I took exams for the Series 62, 63, 6 and 24. I studied for everything with Solomon, and passed them all on the first try. Solomon’s interactive/Ask the Professor teaching method was extremely helpful in grasping the necessary concepts. What a relief to be done. Thanks, Karen!

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.
