Happy Halloween week! The economy continues to show strength in its key indicators as inflation continues to come down and the labor market cools. But is the "lower for longer" policy from the FOMC in regards to its lengthy interest rate easing process causing bonds to be more attractive than equities? Are we in a bull run or a wait-and-see pattern? What does that mean for the remainder of the year for the stock market?

This week, I discuss:

1. The relationship between bond yields and the equity market,
2. What the market is telling us about future rate cuts and the election, and
3. Why starting with small bets as a new trader is the secret to long-term success.

Pantile Investments' Principal David Baines recaps what happened in the US stock market last week and what it means for your trading in the week to come.
