    Series 3 exam - recommendation

    I had the same problem as you. Not too much out there about the Series 3 Exam. I used www.theifm.org and was more than happy with their material. After using their study guide there were no surprises on the exam. It's really not too difficult of a test. Good luck!

    The Costanza Order

    Dear Mr. Broker, As you very well know, my account has suffered greatly from the moment I opened it with you. As a matter of fact, my trades have been imperfect. Every time I try to short, there is a rally and vice versa. I have had a break-through that I think will be sure to make me...
