Stock market outlook for October 2023
The U.S. stock market is coming off its worst month of the year and a selloff that intensified in September. The market’s losses in the past two months wiped out a significant portion of the gains achieved in the prior seven months as investors have become more concerned the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates high even amid some signs of economic weakness.

Stock market outlook for September 2023
The U.S. stock market fell in August, marking only the second month of declines as this year’s rally briefly lost some of its gusto. Stock prices took a big hit after Fitch, a ratings agency, downgraded the credit rating on U.S. debt, though the market bounced back amid more optimism that the Federal Reserve will pause on hiking interest rates. The major benchmarks for the U.S. stock market all experienced a turnaround in August, though not enough to eke out gains.
Is a recession coming? Some economists are starting to say no
More than halfway through 2023, and the recession that many economists were once predicting was all-but inevitable this year has yet to materialize. While forecasters still believe an economic downturn is likely to occur in the not-so-distant future, the consensus on Wall Street is generally that its timing has been pushed back to 2024.

5 Ways cannabis users can consume in 2021
By Anna Marie Jackson The consumption of marijuana has changed over the years. Smoking marijuana is not the only way to consume it now, but rather there are many other ways to use pot. Different methods can be used for smoking weed as well. Marijuana legalization has allowed for more research into how best to consume this plant and what works best for each person’s needs, and thus, in the last few decades, people have been changing their methods of consumption.
Reflecting on Pride Month at Gigamon
As Pride Month comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the need for visibility and the duality of its purpose for the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s important for all of us to celebrate and honor being our true selves and keep a spotlight on the unrelenting fight for safety, normalization, and equal rights. The need for visibility doesn’t stop in June. Raising LGBTQIA+ voices up to be heard, truly listening, supporting LGBTQIA+ organizations, and embracing the community year-round is essential.

What you should know about the new opioid drug that's 10x stronger than fentanyl

An average of 115 Americans dies every day from an opioid overdose, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Is trace amount of herbicide in breakfast cereals cause for concern?
An environmental advocacy group reports it has found small amounts of a herbicide in consumer foods including breakfast cereals, saying there is cause for concern even though the amount is within limits allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Just how much, if any, of the herbicide can be considered safe is a matter of long-running scientific and legal debate. The Environmental Working Group's standard for what's acceptable is not is, by far, the most conservative.
