Taken from our Series 3 Online Guide

1.3.5.2. Speculation

Like arbitrageurs, speculators have no interest in holding the asset they trade in but are only interested in the fluctuation of its price. Whereas arbitrage is a risk-free strategy of buying and selling the same product at the same time, speculation is an activity that accepts an increased risk to capture anticipated future gains. Speculators place a bet on the future price direction of an asset for resale or repurchase at a later date.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

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.

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 failed the Series 52 twice and thought my troubles were with retention, but they were with the practice. I used a competitor's materials and it lacked depth and above all else it lacked a large test bank of questions. With Solomon, I went from feeling unable to fully assess all of the answers on the actual exam, to knowing why an answer was right AS WELL AS knowing why the other 3 answers were wrong. This is an underappreciated aspect of test taking that was only achieved through repetition of different questions. Solomon's large test bank was invaluable and the ability to take practice exams with only the questions you previously got wrong is a fantastic addition.

I took the Series 82 just four weeks after passing the SIE. I followed the study plan, took tons of the great practice tests, got great advice from Karen, and everything worked out well. It was literally the perfect test prep experience. The materials themselves were not overly long as with other groups, it was the exactly right amount, and the Exam Simulator is just awesome, best one of its kind I've ever used. 100% rating. Thank you, Solomon!

I recently passed the Series 65 exam, really recommend this study material. I used other vendors before with no success; this is the best in the market. Thanks so much!
