Altering Reserve Requirements
The Fed also implements monetary policy through manipulating reserve requirements. A reserve requirement is the amount of funds the Fed requires that depository institutions, such as banks, hold in reserve against deposits made by their customers. To stimulate the economy, the Fed lowers the reserve requirements, allowing banks to lend out more money. Americans then have more money available to invest and spend.
To slow the economy and lower inflation, the Fed may raise the reserve requirements, causing banks to tighten the amount of money they have available to lend. This tightening of credit can slow investment in new business and reduce spending, resulting in an economic slowdown. Raising the reserve requirements can reduce inflation because consumers spend less, driving down prices.

What are people saying?
Your material was great. I took the Series 65 in March [2010] and passed with a 90%.

Just wanted you to know, I passed the Series 65 exam on the first attempt. Your book was easy and enjoyable to read, all of the important information was very well explained. But I found your online quizzes and exams extremely helpful in getting the material entrenched in my memory. I was very comfortable with the format and wording of the questions on the actual exam after drilling with your online program. Thank you for enabling me to move to the next level of my career.

I passed the Series 65 today. Thanks so much. The Series 65 Exam Simulator and the iPhone app were my only study instruments. I didn't have any other study materials. Granted, I know that you encouraged me to not use the exam simulator as my sole source, but I found your practice tests to be more difficult than the actual exam. I had taken the series 65 in 1994, but it is a different test now. I received an 89%, finished 55 minutes early. I just took your exam simulator tests over and over. Funny thing, I was getting in the 75% range on your exams. Never broke 80%. Great apps! I really appreciate your generosity in extending my subscription to complete my prep. You are a good man. Thank you.

I took the exam three days after we spoke. I had to drive 75 miles to the test center. I finished the exam in a little under two hours and did not want to second guess myself in changing any of my answers. Upon completion of the exam, and subsequent grading I saw a 65 on the screen and I couldn't believe I did so poorly. However, the 65 I saw stood for the Series 65 not my grade and several lines below was my grade which was an 87. Thus I passed with a minimum amount of study looking over your online exam simulator. The questions were very similar to your review questions and I am sure that a candidate who reviews your questions and understands the application will have no problem passing the exam. Thanks for a great product.

Solomon Exam Prep helped me pass the Series SIE, 63, 65 and 7 exams. The study materials are easy to understand and practice exams were very helpful, especially with the passing probability to gauge my exam readiness. The instructor for all web classes were really worth it as I could get directly answers for my questions. I couldn't have pass these exams without Solomon's help. Thank you!

Very good material and well
planned to help you pass the first time (Series 65). The audio tape
structure is easy to listen to along with the reading material. Clear and
to the point. Nothing dry about your material. Thank you. Highly recommend.
