Series 24: 3.7.7. Marginable Securities

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

3.7.7. Marginable Securities

Not all securities can be purchased on margin. Nasdaq and all listed securities are allowed, as are U.S. government and municipal bonds. OTC securities are allowed if they are listed on the Federal Reserve marginable securities list.

However, new issues have to be publicly traded at least 30 days before they can be purchased on margin. Mutual fund shares are not eligible for trading on margin, nor are put or call options. The premiums of puts and calls must be paid in full; though, they must be recorded within a margin account.

I had tried another learning system before Solomon and walked into the Series 24 unprepared and subsequently failed. After using the Solomon system for three weeks, taking full advantage of the app on my cell phone I walked into my second attempt very prepared for the type of questions I was going to see. Not only did I pass, I did so with confidence. Thanks so much Solomon!

I recently passed my Series 24 using Solomon Exam Prep! It was the hardest exam I've taken to date. I found all the practice exams with specific feedback to be the most helpful, though the audiobook was very helpful as well.

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

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!

Taking the Series 24 class with Karen Solomon this week helped reinforce the data that I learned, and I passed my exam! The material was thorough and the exam simulator was an excellent tool to test your knowledge. Thank you Karen!
