1.3.5.2. Speculation

Like arbitrageurs, speculators have no interest in holding the asset they trade in but are only interested in the fluctuation of its price. Whereas arbitrage is a risk-free strategy of buying and selling the same product at the same time, speculation is an activity that accepts an increased risk to capture anticipated future gains. Speculators place a bet on the future price direction of an asset for resale or repurchase at a later date.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

I initially studied using a different exam prep course (The Securities Institute of America). I waited until I consistently passed the practice exams with a score over 90% before I took the actual exam and unfortunately I failed the exam on my first attempt. I discovered and purchased the Solomon Exam Prep and immediately noticed the studying material was more in depth. I waited until my practice exam score was consistently over 85% and I went to take the actual exam and passed. Thank you so much!! (Series 3)

Great service, practice questions and mock exams were the key to passing. (Series 3)

I would heartily recommend Solomon for anyone studying for the Series 3. The materials are comprehensive, the bank of questions vast and the responsiveness to questions incredibly impressive and detailed. I passed first time and that in no small part is down to Solomon.

Passed the SIE on the first try. Solomon Exam Prep is definitely the way to go. Just follow your study guide. The practice exams are where Solomon truly shines. I will certainly be using Solomon for the Series 7.

I took 2500+ questions in your simulator and I passed the Series 63 on my first attempt. Your practice exams are fantastic!!!!!

I utilized a competitor's product and failed the first time I took the Series 53. It wasn't from the lack of studying. After researching what other courses to buy, I luckily found Solomon. The exam material was up to date and the practice exams were much more challenging than the other program. I would highly recommend Solomon and plan on utilizing them if I should have to take another exam. Thank you.
