Ryan Herbert explains the concept of the Santa Claus rally, a phenomenon where stock markets typically see a rise during the end-of-year holiday season. However, he cautions against getting too excited about these short-term gains, especially for those managing significant investments. Ryan discusses the importance of having a solid, long-term financial plan that accounts for market volatility and potential downturns, rather than chasing small percentage gains that might not justify the risk. Using examples from recent market behaviors and economic uncertainties, he emphasizes the need for prudent decision-making and the dangers of impulsive investments.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 1st Publish Date:  October 1st    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Tuesday, October 1st and Happy 100th Birthday to President Jimmy Carter ***10.01.24 – BIRTHDAY – JIMMY CARTER*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia.  1.       Judge tosses Georgia abortion ban 2.       Smyrna Police Officers Shot, Suspect Killed in Burglary at Adventure Outdoors 3.       Cobb, Marietta Schools See Improved Results in Math All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!    BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL) STORY 1:  Judge tosses Georgia abortion ban A Fulton County judge has overturned Georgia's "heartbeat" law, which banned abortions after six weeks, citing it as unconstitutional. Judge Robert McBurney emphasized women's rights to control their bodies without government interference. The law, passed in 2019, was blocked until 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The case, challenged by SisterSong, saw McBurney's initial ruling in 2022 overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court, but he reaffirmed his decision Monday. The ruling reverts abortion rights to pre-2019 standards, allowing abortions up to 23-24 weeks. The issue remains contentious in the presidential election, with differing views from candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. STORY 2:     Smyrna Police Officers Shot, Suspect Killed in Burglary at Adventure Outdoors Two Smyrna Police officers were injured, and a suspect was killed during a burglary at Adventure Outdoors. The incident occurred late Friday night when officers attempted to arrest 21-year-old Emilio Aguilar, who fired a rifle, injuring two officers in the leg. Both officers are in stable condition, with one still hospitalized. Three Cobb Police officers, arriving just before the shooting, returned fire, killing Aguilar. No Cobb officers were injured. The GBI is investigating, and the case will be reviewed by the Cobb County District Attorney. Adventure Outdoors expressed support for the officers and their families. STORY 3:  Cobb, Marietta Schools See Improved Results in Math The 2023-2024 Georgia Math Milestones scores reveal significant improvements in math for Marietta and Cobb County schools. Cobb saw score increases across all levels, while Marietta improved or maintained scores except in third grade. Cobb students outperformed state averages, with Marietta excelling in certain grades. Marietta's Algebra scores showed notable growth, doubling Cobb's and tripling state growth. Both districts surpassed state proficiency levels, with Cobb leading in Algebra. Marietta's diverse student groups, including students with disabilities, also showed strong performance. The new math standards, implemented last year, contributed to these gains, reflecting successful educational strategies. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back Break: DRAKE (Drake Realty (Cobb County) – Truck a Palooza (09.18.24 COBB COUNTY TRUCK A PALOOZA_FINAL) STORY 4:  BioLab Fire Not Expected to Impact Cobb Air Quality A public safety alert states that chemical levels from the Rockdale County BioLab fire are unlikely to harm most people. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency declared a local emergency within a 50-mile radius of the plant. The fire at the Conyers facility, which produces pool chemicals, led to evacuations. The EPA is monitoring air quality for chlorine, but Cobb County reports no detected chlorine or hydrogen chloride. With winds blowing northeast, away from Cobb, no precautionary measures are currently needed, though monitoring continues. STORY 5:  Mableton Cityhood Headed to Georgia Supreme Court A group of Mableton residents is challenging the constitutionality of the city's establishment in the Georgia Supreme Court. The lawsuit, initially dismissed in Cobb County Superior Court, argues that House Bill 839, which created Mableton and community improvement districts (CIDs), violates the state's single subject rule. The plaintiffs claim the bill improperly combines two distinct government entities. Despite the dismissal, the residents have appealed, with oral arguments set for November 6. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens expressed confidence in the city's legal standing, emphasizing the focus on progressing despite the legal challenge.

Two specially-built C-130Js will join NOAA's fleet by 2030, aiding in hurricane forecasting, tornado research, atmospheric studies, and more. These aircraft improve hurricane track accuracy by over 15% and intensity forecasts by at least 10%. Funded partly by the 2023 Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, the C-130Js will be based in Lakeland, Florida, enhancing NOAA's data-gathering capabilities for extreme weather and climate research. STORY 7:    The Battery Atlanta's 2024 Holiday Festivities The Battery Atlanta's holiday celebrations begin with a Tree Lighting ceremony on November 30, featuring entertainment and a visit from Santa. Santa will be available for visits at his Post Office from November 22 to December 24, where families can take photos and drop off letters. The Holiday Market will showcase diverse local businesses. The New Year's Eve Bash includes an early family-friendly countdown with a baseball drop and a late-night celebration with fireworks. Free parking is available for two hours on non-event days.
