Simple Options and the Futures Market

Options in financial markets have been around for a long time. However, until relatively recently they were bought and sold exclusively over-the-counter. This changed soon after the futures exchanges expanded their commodities trading to include financial products. In 1973 the Chicago Board of Trade organized a new exchange for trading options on stocks. Called the Chicago Board Options Exchange, it standardized the terms of options contracts and assumed the credit risk of the option writer.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

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

Darragh Lenihan, Global Commodities Holdings Limited. Singapore

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 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 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 passed the S7 TO first time it was introduced from last year. I have used several books and none of them could be as complete as this one. I am a living witness to the completeness of your course material. If that was not the case, I would not have passed this very difficult exam. I owe my success to your exam materials and no other book, from those I know have come close. I am going to study for the Series 66 through Solomon Exam Prep. If this can help me through, then I am sure many more people would also succeed.

Stalin Miki, Bankerslife, Miami, FL

Previously I used another prep company for the Series 63 and did not pass. Second time around I used Solomon and passed! What's more, I felt much more confident from taking the practice exams and working towards a higher and higher probability rate of passing. Thank you Solomon! I'll definitely use you again with any future security exams.
