7.2.1.3.1. Marginable SecuritiesNot all securities can be purchased on margin. Nasdaq and all exchange-listed securities are allowed, as are U.S. government and municipal bonds. Over-the-counter securities are allowed if they are listed on the Federal Reserve marginable securities list.
However, newly issued securities must be publicly traded for at least 30 days before they can be purchased on margin. Mutual fund shares cannot be purchased on margin, but they can be used as collateral on a loan after 30 days. Penny stocks are not eligible for margin trading. OTC stocks can be traded on margin unless they have fewer than four market makers regularly submitting bids and offers, or they have fewer than 400,000 shares outstanding.
Remember that non-marginable securities do not add to an account’s buying power.

TESTIMONIALS
What are people saying?
Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.

Solomon Exam Prep helped me pass the Series SIE, 63, 65 and 7 exams. The study materials are easy to understand and practice exams were very helpful, especially with the passing probability to gauge my exam readiness. The instructor for all web classes were really worth it as I could get directly answers for my questions. I couldn't have pass these exams without Solomon's help. Thank you!

I wanted to add my testimonial to the long list of successful test-takers. Passed my Series 65 today on the first try! The materials were well written and made the concepts easier to understand (especially to someone with no background in finance like myself). I was a big fan of the audio format as I have a long drive back and forth to work (other test prep providers did not have this option). The test simulators were also a huge help. Thanks to the folks at Solomon Prep!

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.

My name is Michael Urbanski, CPA and I was able to pass the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. For me, I like to study from all the credible resources I can find. Using exam simulators and exposing yourself to as many sample exam questions helps to learn how an exam is written. I would recommend using these materials to help YOU pass the exams you chose to sit for.
