7.2.1.2 Margin Accounts

Investors are allowed to purchase securities on margin if they open a margin account. Buying securities on margin means to purchase them with credit. When this occurs, 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.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 gave the Federal Reserve Board the power to regulate margin requirements. In Regulation T, the Fed lays out a set of initial margin requirements and describes how a margin account is to be maintained. For registered securities bought on margin, Regulation T

I passed the Series 65 this afternoon! Your online test simulation was terrific. Thanks so much!

I passed the series 65 on my first attempt, thanks to the online quizzes & exams! The instant rationale feedback option really helped me think through the concepts. I highly recommend your testing material!

I have to commend everyone at Solomon Exam Prep in getting me ready for and helping me pass my "Series 65" State Securities Law exam. I did not have a securities background nor did I work in the industry, and at 51 years old it was a challenge for me to go back to hitting the books. In addition to studying for the exam I was running my full time business and working 60+ hours a week. But with their help and support I passed on my first attempt.

I used you guys when I sat for the Series 7 two weeks prior and passed that bad boy too. The Solomon books are awesome and allowed me to pass these challenging exams [Series 65 and Series 7] the first time. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Hi Jeremy, I passed! Thanks for all your hard work and support to help me get through the Series 65! I went from scoring a 65 [using a competitor's material] to a 79 percent [with your Exam Prep]. I felt your material covered the exam perfectly. I went out of my way of actually learning instead memorizing. I used the book and the audio book as well as your online test prep. I am glad that is over with! Thanks again, best wishes to you as well.

I did so many practice exams with Solomon and never saw one question twice. The quality of study material is thorough, with a touch of humor, and gives it to you in many formats (visual both on the computer or in book format if you wish), as well as audio that you can listen to in the car, as well as the benefit of videos of actual lectures from professors. I felt as though getting the information in all those formats allowed me to really grasp the information using different senses and facilitated the learning process even further.
