The market has turned south again. And things could be worse in September.

Blame the Fed. Blame inflation. Blame recession. Investors can’t look past them anymore. The market had rallied on hopes that inflation peaked, and the Fed will be all done hiking rates by the beginning of next year. But the Fed poured cold water on those hopes.



The end of this Fed hiking cycle is no longer in view after the recent hawkish statements by the Central Bank. The Fed indicated again last week that it is willing to induce a deeper recession to conquer this inflation. Rates may continue to rise well into next year and investors can’t see the light at the end of this tunnel anymore.

Finding the leading growth stocks - the stocks that will lead the next rally - can be difficult. Here are four tips to help you get started.

This two-month correction may seem scary. But you don’t have to go back very far to find a stock market comparison that looks very similar.
