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.

Awesome customer service and material. Will definitely be a returning customer

Michael, MM Financial Planning. New York, NY

I learned the material quickly and passed the Series 65 with flying colors. It was fun to listen while driving, and it was easy to absorb the information—just like being taught by an entertaining young professor!

I passed my series 65 exam on the first attempt! The books and sample questions are always very helpful. I leveraged this course with another program that was offered to me. I did mainly use this one and found the material very helpful. Overall, I would say the test questions that were in the book and online were much more difficult than the exam itself. I do like the crash course piece, but would also love the option of a instructional video which is what the other course offered. I learn not just by readying, but visually as well. The combination of the two were very helpful, but overall I felt the material, especially the sample test questions, were more comprehensive. Thank you for the material.

I PASSED. A big thank you to Solomon Exam Prep for breaking down the material for the Series 65 exam into understandable information. I started my exam prep journey with another provider and their material was simply too wordy and full of unnecessary information. I switched to Solomon Exam Prep and the material was easy to follow and I PASSED. Thanks so much for being there for me.

I used Solomon Exam Prep to take my Series 65 exam and passed it on the first try. The schedule generator is a great tool to stay on track and the practice exams and quizzes were my preferred method of studying and worked great as they provided questions that were very close and helpful in preparing for the real exam. Thank you!

I just wanted to let you know I took the Series 65(85), Series 63(90) and Series 7(90) and am pleased as can be with your guides and practice materials. Not only do they contain the facts that are needed to pass the exams, but are actually presented in a format that you are still interested and awake by the time you get there! Really brilliant instructions.
