Series 3: 2.1.1. Yield

Taken from our Series 3

2.1.1. Yield

Market interest rates are constantly changing and may change dramatically during the life of a bond. These fluctuating interest rates have a corresponding impact on the bond’s market value. Suppose you want to sell your 6% bond in the market, and similar bonds to yours are being issued today at 8%. No one is likely to pay $1,000 to get $60 per year when they can lend the same amount and get $80. Your bond will not attract potential investors unless you offer to sell the bond at a discount; that is, below its par value. A bond that sells below it

TESTIMONIALS

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

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

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.

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 passed the Series 63 with the help of the Solomon materials. I loved the audio books and the quiz and test questions were extremely helpful. Thank you Solomon!

Diane Kotil, Quasar Distributors, Milwaukee, WI

I am still so giddy that I passed my Series 7 on 1/31. I truly cannot believe it. I took the 7 three times in 2019 utilizing Kaplan study materials and didn't feel good going into the tests any of the times. So shockingly I failed all three times by a lot. My highest score was a 68%. I used Solomon for my 51 in September (passed on the first try) so I thought I could try it for my 7 even though it is the hardest securities test I have taken. I felt so good going into the testing center and I passed!!! I am so grateful to have found your materials. They have been incredibly helpful and I am able to understand all the material covered in the books. I still am in shock that I passed. Now off to the 24!

Briana Turner, Cambridge Investment Research. Virginia Beach, VA

I utilized the Solomon SIE and Series 6 Top-Off study guide package. I passed on the first time by following the exact recommendations. While the test is different than the study exam questions it covers the content in a detailed way preparing you to successfully pass the exam. Great product and customer service!
