The Dow Jones industrials, Nasdaq and S&P 500 each pushed higher to start out the week. At the same time, crude oil shot up above $82 a barrel and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reached its highest level since June. Even cryptocurrency in general saw some handy gains, specifically Bitcoin jumping 4%. A rising tide lifts all ships, and that seems to be how this week is starting out. It is yet to be seen if markets can keep this up.

The top large-cap financials likely will post some very solid third-quarter numbers this week. Four stocks look very attractive for growth investors with a longer timeframe, and they can be bought in front of the reports.
