As you are probably very well aware, there has been a notable pickup in market volatility recently.
While this most recent pullback has been relatively swift, it is not an uncommon occurrence, especially in bull markets.
Halloween has arrived early! You would think this if the recent stock market action was any indication of such.
October is right around the corner. It's a time for World Series baseball, pumpkins, brilliant foliage, and stock market crashes.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Another week has passed and there were no major changes in the stock market.
