4.2.1. Speculating: Taking Advantage of Leverage

You may ask yourself: Why acquire an option rather than buy or sell a stock outright? The answer is simple: leverage.

Leverage is the use of debt to finance an activity. You use leverage when you borrow money from a bank to purchase a mortgage on a house. You use leverage when you borrow from a broker to buy securities on margin.

I did so many practice exams with Solomon and never saw one question twice. The quality of study material is thorough, with a touch of humor, and gives it to you in many formats (visual both on the computer or in book format if you wish), as well as audio that you can listen to in the car, as well as the benefit of videos of actual lectures from professors. I felt as though getting the information in all those formats allowed me to really grasp the information using different senses and facilitated the learning process even further.

My oldest son purchased your Solomon audio exam guide to pass his Series 7, and I did the same for the Series 65 exam at his recommendation. Although I am 62 and have been out of college for forty(40) years, I passed my Series 65 exam on my first try. This would NOT have been possible without your excellent study materials. Thank you! for the service you provide to all aspiring test takers where so much is on the line!

Most Sincerely,

I could not be happier with Solomon Exam Prep and I am so glad I found it. I had taken this test prior and wasn't able to pass. After utilizing the Total Study Package for the Series 65, including the book, audiobook, summary videos and practice tests, I felt very confident clicking the submit button at the end of the test. I would highly recommend Solomon Exam Prep to pass your upcoming test.

Solomon Exam Prep material was great. Explained in a way that is easy to learn and follow. Test questions really help the material sink in. I had failed the Series 66 twice using another service. When it came time to find new material for the Series 65 and Series 63 Solomon was it. I passed both the 65 & 63 with flying colors and I have Solomon to thank for that.

I just wanted to let you know I took the Series 65(85), Series 63(90) and Series 7(90) and am pleased as can be with your guides and practice materials. Not only do they contain the facts that are needed to pass the exams, but are actually presented in a format that you are still interested and awake by the time you get there! Really brilliant instructions.

I learned the material quickly and passed the Series 65 with flying colors. It was fun to listen while driving, and it was easy to absorb the information—just like being taught by an entertaining young professor!
