[Header]( It’s Time to Lock In Ahead of an Important Week Dear reader, October might be known as the "month of crashes," but up until Thursday, it was actually a solid month for the market.

But like I said last month, it’s not surprising for October to experience a decline ahead of Election Day. So I'm not too surprised by the last-minute volatility as investors prepare for what next week brings. That volatility will likely continue in the coming weeks, too. So now that October is behind us, let's get ready to ride the wave.
