Series 3: 1.3.5.2. Speculation

Taken from our Series 3 Online Guide

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.

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

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

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)

Joshua Turner, J.D. Turner Capital, LLC, Baltimore, MD

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.

The online exam simulator was essential to helping me pass the Series 82 on my first attempt!! Have always used Kaplan for previous FINRA exams, so didn't know what to expect at first, but I was definitely prepared for this exam! Great job to everyone at Solomon, especially the exam writers !!

Luke Garcia, Capital Group, West Chester, PA

Solomon Exam Prep material was great. Explained in a way that is easy to learn and follow. Test questions really help the material sink in. I had failed the Series 66 twice using another service. When it came time to find new material for the Series 65 and Series 63 Solomon was it. I passed both the 65 & 63 with flying colors and I have Solomon to thank for that.

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.
