2.8.11. SIPA and SIPC

In the late 1960s, a crisis in the securities industry led to a frightening succession of brokerage failures. The customers they served lost their investments or became mired in bankruptcy proceedings. To restore public confidence in the industry, Congress responded with the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (SIPA). SIPA created the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) in an attempt to protect investors by providing insurance for the assets contained in their securities accounts.

I took another vendors 24 course but it did not compare to how Solomon Exam Prep for Series 24 prepared me. The material and practice exams, especially the timed exams, were broken up by sections, similar to the FINRA Exam. This really helped in allowing me to understand which section(s) I needed to spend more time on/hit harder. Thank you Solomon!!!

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

Excited to say I passed the Series 24 the first time I sat for the exam. The course material and exam simulator were paramount in my preparation.

Thank you Solomon! I was able to pass the SIE, 7, 63 and 24 in a relatively short time period. The practice exams with answers really helped and when I had a question for The Professor, I always received a quick and accurate response. Solomon is definitely the way to go.

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!

Between September 18 and December 3, I took exams for the Series 62, 63, 6 and 24. I studied for everything with Solomon, and passed them all on the first try. Solomon’s interactive/Ask the Professor teaching method was extremely helpful in grasping the necessary concepts. What a relief to be done. Thanks, Karen!
