Ben Rains digs into the stock market as the bulls and bears tussle for near-term control of the market as we close out August. Of course, the downbeat month and the recent stretch of volatility are not pleasant in the moment. But pullbacks are healthy and vital parts of the stock market and one was desperately needed after the huge rally.

The three stocks we explore today are Caterpillar (CAT), Walmart (WMT), and Visa (V).
