Tax Basis on Shares After a Stock Split

Sometimes a company will decide to split its existing stock into more shares (your 100 shares that were worth $100 each are now 200 shares worth $50 each). Less frequently, companies will do a reverse split, where more shares become fewer shares. In either case, an investor’s basis in the stock is adjusted in the same

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!

I have used other providers in the past for the 62 and decided to try something new this time due to passing that by a thin margin out of luck. I passed the 65 first try with an 88% all thanks to Solomon Exam Prep and its effective 5-week program. The book is thorough and easy to follow and the endless question bank with detailed explanations ensures that you will never see a repeat and never have to worry about question memorization (which is CRITICAL when you are assessing how ready you are based off of practice tests). The quizzes and exams require a deeper level of understanding, unlike other providers that test you with elementary questions only to leave the actual exam to feel unpleasantly difficult. The practice quizzes provide a very convenient way to focus on your weak areas and the full simulation exams feel very much like the actual test and in my experience, made the real exam seem surprisingly easy. The practice questions also reinforce important test taking skills and taught me to approach questions in a more disciplined way than before. Finally, I gave the “ask the professor” function a try and they are VERY responsive and clearly have a passion for seeing their clients succeed. I couldn’t be happier with this program and even though you might hear about the other test prep companies more often, Solomon IS the most effective.

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 thought the study material from Solomon Exam Prep was great. It helped me focus on the sections where I needed to study the most. I passed with an 81% on my first try for the Series 65 exam. I would definitely use Solomon Exam Prep again if I need to get any more licenses.

I wanted to thank you for your help several weeks ago. The practice questions were very helpful. I passed the exam (Series 65) on the first try with a solid score.
