Jeff, Joe, and Kyle are back with their customary update on last week’s numbers from Wall Street. The Dow was up, the S&P 500 was up, and the NASDAQ was up also. All three remain up in double-digits YTD. We just finished the first month of Q4, and it was a big month for the markets. For October, the Dow was up 5.8%, the S&P 500 was up 6.9%, and the NASDAQ was up 7.3% on the month. All three closed on Friday at all-time highs. It was a big week for earnings, though Apple and Amazon didn’t produce the earning investors had hoped. The market took it in stride and now we look to next week to see what may happen when the Federal Reserve meets on Wednesday. They are likely to finally announce the exact day the taper will begin, and the Money Wise guys discuss how the market may react.

In the second hour of the show, the conversation focuses on Equity Index Annuities. Don’t miss the details!
