3.7.6. Margin Requirements for Credit Default Swaps

A derivative is a security that is not itself an asset but whose value depends upon (is derived from) the value of an asset. If you own an option, for example, you do not own an asset; you own the right to buy (or sell) an asset depending on its future price movements. Likewise, if you buy a credit default swap (CDS), you do not buy an asset; you buy protection for an asset you already own in case it should default. In exchange for this credit protection, you provide the seller with a stream of monthly payments.

Jeremy, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for your wonderful product! Your study guides helped me pass the 7, 66, 24, 52, and 53 all within 2 and a half months. Thank you again!

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.

3rd time is a charm and it took Solomon to do it. None of the other materials in my first two attempts were strong enough to enable me to reason my way to the correct answers. Solomon's angle on this material was closest to the actual test and was the reason I got there.

As an aside, the ongoing personal help was very surprising and commendable. Thank you, Solomon!
