Series 6: 8.1.2. Margin Accounts

Taken from our Series 6 Top-off Online Guide

8.1.2. Margin Accounts

Investors are allowed to purchase securities on loan or make short sales of securities if they open what is called a margin account. Buying securities on margin means to purchase them with credit. Margin is a big business for broker-dealers because in addition to offering customers a way to buy more securities, broker dealers earn interest on margin loans to customers. In a margin account, the investor pays for part of the price of the security and the broker-dealer loans the investor funds for the rest. The loans must be secured by the customer with money or securities and placed in a margin account held by the lender

I've used the Solomon exam prep materials for both my SIE and Series 6 exams and passed both on the first try! The audio materials are a lifesaver and a great resource to utilize, especially while driving. Also, your team is fantastic! I reached out through the "Ask the Professor" option while studying for the SIE and the response and additional help was exactly what I needed. I highly recommend Solomon! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your great product. I recently used for the Series 6 and took a month to study and passed. I previously used another provider and didn't pass.

THANK YOU SOLOMON! I passed the SIE in December and Series 6 in February. I do not have a background in finance. The study materials prepared me wonderfully for the exams. I used the study schedule - took a ton of practice exams and re-read the material. Also, the testimonials were very encouraging, so I had to share that I had the same amazing experience. Thank you so much!

I have used Solomon exam prep for the 6/63 and was able to pass on the first try. Now I’m taking the 65 and hope to do the same. I’ve used other recommended exam prep courses and came back to Solomon for the 65 because of ease of use. I would recommend Solomon to anyone that is in need of a securities exam. All the content is laid out in an easy to follow way.

I have now used Solomon for the SIE, series 6, and 63. I am ordering my 7 materials now. The structure and resources are right on target. The practice exams are more difficult than the exam which makes taking the exam much easier. I give all of the credit to Solomon for my 100% pass rate so far. I recommend Solomon to all of my coworkers.

Solomon Exam Prep did it again! I passed the Series 63! Now, I'm 3 for 3 - SIE, S6 & S63 - all first try- thanks to the amazing study material! The practice exams are phenomenal!
