| quincy | I thought it should be II and III? |
| ange | No III is not correct as exchange markets can also be secodary markets (you can buy stocks from NYSE). |
| gene80 | duh.. Ange's not answering quicy's question at all. Quincy, III isn't exactly correct to state tt secondary market is being "ONLY OTC markets". It's too absolute a statement, a trick question. Secondary market are characterized with OTCs along with other stock exchanges, 3rd/fourth markets.. etc. |
| Kofo | i also thought II and III but gene80 has answered the question |
| rethan | What is a dealer's market? |
| soarer1 | From investopedia: Dealer Market: A market where dealers are assigned for specific securities. The dealers create liquid markets by purchasing and selling against personal inventory. |
| khalifa92 | iii would've been correct if there was no "only" |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
