Series 28: Understanding Margin

Taken from our Series 28 Online Guide

Understanding Margin

Investors are allowed to purchase securities on loan from their broker-dealer if they open a margin account. Buying securities on margin means to purchase them with credit. The investor pays for part of the price of the security and the broker-dealer loans the investor funds for the rest. Margin is the amount or percent of money the investor deposits. Debit balance is the amount of money borrowed. The broker-dealer is the investor’s creditor. The loans must be secured by the customer with money or securities and placed in a margin account established by the creditor.

I wanted to let you know I passed my Series 28 today!! Thanks for great prep materials. I have been working really long hours at my job and it was a challenge finding the time to study. The video lectures proved to be a big help. I’m glad that exam is over!!!

Last August 2020 I passed the Series 28 on the first try using your materials. I just wanted to drop in and let you know I passed the Series 27 exam today!! I am so happy today as I took the test in Jan of this year and missed it by 3 points. I switched up my focus and really zoned in the most heavily weighted chapters. This is by far the hardest exam I have taken. Thank you Solomon for your excellent study materials. I'll be back when I pass the next one ;)

I took this Series 28 today and passed on my first try! I think the practice exams helped a ton, though in general, I would say the actual test seemed (at least to me), more difficult than the practice exams. Either way, couldn't have done it without the Solomon Exam Prep.

Solomon Exam Prep was very thorough and prepared me not only for the SIE, but the practice questions were so in-depth I now feel prepared for the Series-7 top-off as well.

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.

Passed the Series 79, was really difficult but the materials prepared me well. Was passing the practice exams with mid 80's to high 90's the last two days. Highly recommend using Solomon.
