Three growth-stock leaders to buy

With the growth-oriented Nasdaq Composite outperforming the S&P 500 in 13 of the past 15 outings, the institutional-investor mindset gradually moves to risk-on. Most of this outperformance comes from larger issues, like the Powershares QQQ Trust QQQ, +0.05% besting smaller shares, like the iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM, -0.02%

Why not raise interest rates and launch another QE program

 I have stayed away from talking about the Fed lately because everybody else is doing it. I just supposed somebody would ask the “what if” I have been wondering about. So far I haven’t heard it. So, I’ll ask: What if the Fed both tightens and loosens this week? What if Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen raises interest rates andannounces a short-term QE to offset increasing rates?
