Sales interview, need some pointers

I'm going for a sales job in the Securities division at a BB. I was coached by an employee that I need to beef up my market knowledge.

What would you all advise I do to prepare for an entry-level interview?

I'd cover the big stuff, have an answer (not a dissertation) to the following:

  1. what's your outlook for equities through the end of the year?
  2. give me your thoughts on the bond market (rising rates, secular bear for decades, slow rising up but muted by other buyers because low supply, etc)
  3. do you think we're in a bubble in US equities? why or why not?
  4. whats your opinion on the direction of the US economy?
