Taken from our Series 6 Online Guide

7.1.2.1. Credit Risk

Credit risk, also known as default risk, is significant to holders of bonds. Credit risk has two related parts. First, it is the risk that an issuer’s perceived or actual credit-worthiness will drop, causing the bond’s price to drop. Second, it is the risk that the issuer will default on the bond issue and, therefore, not pay bondholders the interest or principal that is due to them. U.S. Treasury bonds have practically no credit risk, but municipal and corporate bonds usually have some credit risk.

A bond’s credit risk is graded by the credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s. Investment-grade bonds a

I have now used Solomon for the SIE, series 6, and 63. I am ordering my 7 materials now. The structure and resources are right on target. The practice exams are more difficult than the exam which makes taking the exam much easier. I give all of the credit to Solomon for my 100% pass rate so far. I recommend Solomon to all of my coworkers.

I was struggling with my Series 6. I was referred to Steve Kaplan by a colleague. Steve told me to throw away my other study materials from the other school and use the Solomon Products. I found the information to be easier to understand. Along with Steve's test taking tips, I passed my Series 6 with no problem

My sincere thanks and appreciation to the team at Solomon. I've used your materials to pass the SIE and Series 6, both on the first try, and today with your help, I have passed the Series 26 exam on the first try as well! Thank you for the excellent materials and assistance!

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!

A more recent update after taking my Series 7 exam: Within one year of joining the financial industry, Solomon materials have gotten me a 100%, 4 for 4 pass rate with the SIE, S6, 63 and S7 all completed within 10 months. Once again, the materials and practice tests prepared me for the S7 exam better than I could've imagined. I will continue to refer people to Solomon, as the material, customer service, and whole experience has been unmatched.
