Dear Sheryl, I won’t sugarcoat it—the first few weeks of October have been much more volatile than I expected. Between last week and this week, this has been the worst start to the fourth quarter since 2008. Understandably, my inbox has been flooded with questions about the recent volatility… What is causing it? Is this the start of a larger correction? Do I still think that we’ll have a strong fourth quarter? These are all important questions that deserve answers. So, in your Growth Investor Weekly Update, I answer these questions one-by-one. Meanwhile, third-quarter earnings season is just around the corner, with Alcoa Inc. (AA) kicking things off next Wednesday. We also have six earnings reports on deck next week, so I preview each one of those announcements. The next several weeks are going to a big time for our Growth Investor stocks. To prepare for what’s to come, visit the Growth Investor website now.
