Don't Memorize. Understand the Concepts.
A registered representative hears a rumor that a company is about to be acquired and buys the stock in her personal account before the news is public. This is an example of:
Correct Answer: C
The Logic: This is a classic violation.
Why C is correct: Acting on material, non-public information for personal gain violates the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. "Front Running" is different (placing a trade ahead of a large client order).
An investor purchases 100 shares of XYZ Corp common stock on Tuesday, July 10th. When does the trade settle?
Correct Answer: A
The Logic: Don't get stuck on old rules.
Why A is correct: As of May 2024, the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer transactions (stocks, bonds, ETFs) is T+1.
Which of the following positions exposes an investor to unlimited risk potential?
Correct Answer: D
The Logic: You can lose everything... and more.
Why D is correct: When you sell a call without owning the stock (naked), there is no limit to how high the stock price can go. You are obligated to buy the stock at the current market price (potentially infinite) and sell it at the strike price.

It was good and challenging. I have been studying roughly 5-8 hours a week using Kaplan and the questions are structured differently but somewhat similar. My score here is exactly on par with my average score with Kaplan. I have been using their audio books and I also struggle with reading and retention. Your study guide seems a little more simplified so im not opposed to try it out. Thanks for puting this together.
