Series 24: 5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

A stub quote is a quote that is intentionally made so far from the prevailing market to guarantee that it will not be executed. Stub quotes were used in the past by market makers when they did not want to trade at certain prices but needed to meet their two-sided trading obligation. Then on a single day in 2010, a deep drop in the market triggered the execution of a large number of trades against stub quotes.

The SEC responded with a new rule that requires market makers to post continuous two-sided quotes within a certain designated percentage of the NBBO (see table) for NMS securities during market hours. These requirements hold for both Nasdaq and ADF entries. If no NBBO exists for the security, then the price range (known as a price band) must be calculated based on the last transaction.

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.

Seth Schader, CCO, Mercer Island, WA

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.

Ben Young, Berthel Fisher. Cedar Rapids, IA

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!

Janie Richards, Austin, TX

Passed the 24 today ... fun test.. You have a great product. The material was easy to follow and the practice tests were very, very helpful. Thank you.

Danny Klingler, Kestra Financial, Austin, Texas

Just wanted to say thank you and give you a good review. I actually found that your test questions were harder than the actual exam and the explanations and the ability to create tests of all of my wrong answers helped me focus on my weak areas of the exam. I passed the first time and don't believe I couldn't have done it without your test bank. Thanks again.

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.
