So without the series 7 you cannot trade those listed types of securities?

In Aus we have the Australian Securites and Investments Commision (ASIC) but the only type of qualification you get form these guys is called PS146 which is required to give financial advice provided your licensed by ASIC themselves.

Nick - it just depends in what capacity you are 'trading'. Just trading your own account, have at it w/o licenses. Want to trade prop and/or OPM? You'll probably need to be registered in the US.

Definitely have to agree with Brownsfan here--I just passed the 7 about a month ago and it may as well have just been a test on Muni Bonds! The best thing to do is to cover all of the material and make sure you have an understanding of each concept presented before moving on to the next topic. If you aren't understanding a concept for any reason, don't just skip over it and hope it doesn't show up on the test because there is a lot of information covered in 260 questions. Good luck to anyone who has to take it, I hope I never have to do it again

The best way to prepare for your Series 7 is to read the book & go to a class! Too many people will tell you "just do the practice exams"..It is a risky game! My advice would be to use ***: http://www.***.com

They have good materials, and innovative programs for training...such as classes you can download onto you iPod. They we very helpful.

Does it not seem odd that your very first post is to promote a website on a thread that was dead?



I do not understand how threads that are more than dead just magically appear with a new post from a new member to a new website... I'm sure it's just an odd coincidence.
