High-yield facts (commonly tested)

The SEC regulates securities markets and issuers; FINRA is the SRO overseeing broker-dealers and registered representatives.
The MSRB writes rules for municipal securities dealers and municipal advisors.
SIPC protects customer assets if a broker-dealer fails; it does not protect against market loss.
A margin account lets a customer borrow from the broker to purchase securities; Reg T sets initial margin requirements.
Market orders execute at the best available price; limit orders execute only at the specified price or better.
Insider trading prohibitions apply to material nonpublic information about a security.
The SIE is a prerequisite exam; passing it does not register a person with FINRA — a firm sponsorship is required for registration.
