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.

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.

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

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)

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.

Thank you Solomon! I passed the Series 65 today on the 1st attempt. Same result as on the Series 63 I passed last year. The Solomon video lectures and exam simulator was awesome. It not only helped pass the test but helped me really understand all the material.

The support behind Solomon Exam Prep is like no other. I lean heavily on a few people there and they always come through for me every time! Passed my 6 last Friday. Heading into my 63. I highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep!
