Cada semana en Onda Cero junto a Agustín Bravo, Sergio Alberto Gama y Beatriz Martínez analizamos la seguridad vial. Comparativa de la Seguridad Vial Urbana: Roma vs. Madrid (2019–2023) En 2024, los habitantes de Madrid eran 3.416.771 y la población de Roma, según la última cifra disponible de la Ciudad Metropolitana de Roma Capital era de 4.357.041 Resumen general: Madrid logró reducciones históricas de víctimas hasta 2022, especialmente en fallecidos, mientras que Roma presenta cifras de siniestralidad urbana mucho más elevadas y en aumento tras la pandemia. Los usuarios vulnerables (peatones, ciclistas y motoristas) concentran la mayoría de las víctimas en ambas urbes, si bien su peso relativo y la evolución difieren. A continuación, se expone año por año la situación de cada ciudad, resaltando diferencias clave en evolución, tendencias y puntos críticos. Siniestralidad anual en Madrid y Roma (2019–2023) Tabla 1.

Víctimas de accidentes de tráfico urbanos en Roma (2019–2023) Año Fallecidos Heridos (total) 2019 131 15.919 2020 104 10.452 2021 121 13.862 2022 150 16.618 2023 154 16.023 2021: Recuperación parcial y tendencias divergentes Madrid (2021): Con la recuperación parcial de la movilidad, Madrid registró 8.312 accidentes con víctimas (+22% vs 2020, pero aún −22% vs 2019) . El número de fallecidos bajó a 24, el más bajo en décadas . Esta cifra supuso un −27% respecto a 2019 (cuando hubo 33 muertos) , consolidando una tendencia a la baja. Los heridos graves aumentaron a 557 (+36% vs 2020, incluso ligeramente por encima de 2019) , y los heridos leves ascendieron a 9.612 (aún −25% vs 2019) . La disparidad entre la fuerte reducción de fallecidos y el repunte de heridos graves fue un punto crítico en 2021: con más siniestros graves (551 accidentes con herido grave, frente a 531 en 2019) , las autoridades madrileñas alertaron sobre el incremento de lesiones severas pese a menos accidentes totales . En cuanto al perfil de las víctimas mortales, continuó la primacía de peatones y motoristas. Los datos oficiales indican que en 2021 fallecieron 32% menos peatones que en 2019 (pasando de 15 a ~10 peatones muertos) debido a la menor movilidad peatonal en pandemia, Roma (2021): La vuelta gradual a la normalidad aumentó el tráfico en Roma y con ello la siniestralidad: se registraron 11.129 accidentes con lesiones (+35% vs 2020) con 13.862 heridos y 121 fallecidos . Pese al aumento respecto a 2020, los valores de 2021 aún estaban por debajo de 2019 (131 muertos). Roma logró 17 muertes menos que en 2019, pero 17 más que en 2020, reflejando un retroceso tras la mejora pandémica. En 2021 preocupó especialmente el aumento de víctimas entre motoristas: fallecieron 45 usuarios de moto en Roma (cifra récord hasta entonces) , que representaron el 37% de todos los fallecidos del año. También murieron 32 peatones (~26% del total, menor que los 42 de 2019) , señal de que las restricciones de 2020 redujeron temporalmente los atropellos, pero en 2021 seguían por debajo del nivel prepandémico. Los ciclistas tuvieron 3 muertes (ligeramente menos que años previos) . Un dato novedoso fue la irrupción de siniestros con monopatines eléctricos: en 2021 ocurrieron 198 accidentes de VMP en Roma, con 4 fallecidos usuarios de patinete . Roma (2022): En contraposición, 2022 fue un año negro para Roma. Con la movilidad normalizada, se contabilizaron 13.181 accidentes con víctimas (+18% vs 2021, superando incluso las cifras de 2019) . El saldo fue 16.618 heridos y 150 fallecidos en las vías urbanas romanas , un aumento alarmante. Roma sufrió 29 muertes más que en 2021, alcanzando su cifra más alta de la década. La situación llevó a que ACI calificara de “preocupante el incremento” y señalara a Roma como la gran ciudad italiana con mayor aumento de fallecidos en 2022 . Los colectivos más afectados fueron nuevamente los vulnerables: fallecieron 48 motoristas (frente a 45 en 2021) y 44 peatones (frente a 32 el año anterior) . Juntos, peatones y usuarios de dos ruedas representaron aproximadamente 61% de las muertes en la capital. También murieron 5 ciclistas y 3 usuarios de monopatín eléctrico . Este último dato refleja la peligrosidad de la micromovilidad en Roma: en 2022 ocurrieron 286 siniestros con monopatines, dejando 258 heridos y 3 fallecidos (aunque en 2021 incluso hubo 4 muertes en patinete) . Los datos de vehículos implicados muestran la elevada exposición de motos: 6.450 vehículos de dos ruedas se vieron involucrados en accidentes en 2022 (un 49% del total de ~13k accidentes), superando ampliamente a Madrid en volumen relativo de motos en circulación . En cuanto a tipología de siniestros, la mayoría absoluta (85,5%) ocurrieron en calles urbanas de la ciudad (no en tramos de carretera periférica) , y dentro de estas, los más frecuentes fueron colisiones entre vehículos y atropellos a peatones. Las causas principales se mantuvieron: la distracción y el no respeto de la señalización provocaron el 51,1% de todos los accidentes en 2022 , mientras que el exceso de velocidad se confirmó como la primera causa de los accidentes mortales (presente en el 29,2% de los siniestros con fallecidos) . Cabe destacar el fuerte impacto en población joven: fallecieron 30 jóvenes (18–30 años) en 2022 (+67% vs 2021) , indicador muy preocupante para las autoridades. En resumen, Roma 2022 experimentó un retroceso severo en seguridad vial urbana, con más accidentes, más heridos y un salto en víctimas mortales que revirtió años de avances. La comparación con Madrid no podría ser más contrastante: Roma tuvo 7,5 veces más muertes que Madrid (150 vs 20) ese año, y una tasa de mortalidad por habitante aproximada de 5,5/100k frente a 1,3/100k en Madrid. Análisis Comparativo y Conclusiones A lo largo de 2019–2023, Madrid y Roma han seguido caminos divergentes en seguridad vial urbana. Madrid logró reducciones significativas de víctimas hasta 2022, alineada con el objetivo “Visión Cero 2030”, mientras que Roma experimentó un agravamiento de la siniestralidad, especialmente tras la pandemia. A continuación resumimos las diferencias clave en evolución, tendencias y puntos críticos entre ambas ciudades: • Víctimas mortales: Madrid pasó de 33 fallecidos en 2019 a 20 en 2022, una disminución del 39% que indica una clara mejora . Aunque en 2023 subieron a 26, la cifra sigue muy por debajo de los niveles prepandemia. En cambio, Roma aumentó de 131 muertes en 2019 a 150 en 2022 (máximo quinquenal) y 154 en 2023 . Esta brecha se aprecia en la Figura 1, donde la barra roja (Roma) supera varias veces la azul (Madrid) cada año. La tasa de mortalidad urbana romana (5–6 por 100k hab.) cuadruplica la madrileña (~1,5 por 100k). Roma concentra además cerca del 10% de todas las muertes urbanas de Italia , cuando Madrid apenas representa el 3% de las de España. Es evidente que Madrid ha tenido mucho más éxito en la contención de fallecidos en ciudad que Roma en este periodo. • Tipología de siniestros: En Madrid predominan las colisiones entre vehículos (especialmente choques fronto-laterales en intersecciones y alcances traseros). Estos siniestros representaron la mayoría de accidentes, pero suelen resultar en daños materiales o heridos leves. En cambio, los siniestros que más contribuyen a las víctimas graves y mortales son los atropellos y las salidas de vía. En Roma ocurre algo similar: la mayoría de accidentes son colisiones múltiples en áreas urbanas densas, pero los accidentes más letales incluyen atropellos en vías de alta velocidad, choques contra obstáculos/salidas de la vía (p. ej. pérdida de control en vías consolidadas) y colisiones con motos involucradas. De hecho, un estudio de la fundación ANIA destaca que las fuoriuscite di carreggiata (salidas de vía) causan ~20% de las muertes en entornos urbanos italianos . En Madrid, según la memoria municipal, el atropello a persona representa solo el 6–7% de los siniestros pero causa más del 30% de las víctimas graves – subrayando su peligrosidad. La ilustración 70 del Informe de Movilidad de Madrid 2019 mostraba que el 25–30% de los fallecidos provenían de colisiones dobles (entre dos vehículos) , algo menos que el porcentaje de atropellos (45%). En Roma 2019, los atropellos representaron ~32% de las muertes . En resumen, atropellos y colisiones son las tipologías críticas en ambas ciudades, si bien Madrid ha reducido algo los atropellos en zonas céntricas mediante semáforos y calmado, mientras Roma sigue lidiando con atropellos graves incluso en pasos de peatones (un punto crítico reconocido localmente). Conclusión: Madrid y Roma presentan realidades contrastantes en seguridad vial urbana. Madrid logró hasta 2022 avances notables en la reducción de accidentes graves y víctimas mortales, apoyada en políticas proactivas (limitación 30 km/h, calmado de tráfico, mayor control de alcoholemia, mejoras infraestructurales) y en una evolución cultural hacia la movilidad segura. Roma, por su parte, no experimentó la misma mejora; al contrario, 2022–2023 han sido años muy negativos, con aumentos en muertos y heridos que han alejado a la capital italiana de los objetivos europeos (la “Visión Cero” está todavía lejana en Roma). La pandemia impactó a ambas (redujo siniestralidad en 2020), pero en la recuperación Madrid mantuvo la tendencia a la baja en fallecidos mientras Roma la revirtió al alza. No obstante, 2023 fue un toque de atención también para Madrid, evidenciando que la seguridad vial es frágil: un repunte en comportamientos de riesgo puede traducirse rápidamente en más víctimas. Para Roma, 2023 confirmó una crisis continua que exige intensificar medidas: la propia ACI abogó por intervenciones urgentes en Roma (mejorar infraestructuras, más controles, educación vial) tras ver que la ciudad concentró la peor evolución entre urbes italianas . En suma, de 2019 a 2023 Madrid muestra una evolución positiva global (pese al bache de 2023) con tendencia descendente en víctimas, mientras que Roma muestra una evolución negativa con tendencia ascendente preocupante en siniestralidad urbana. Los puntos críticos en ambas –proteger a peatones, ciclistas y motoristas, controlar la velocidad y las distracciones, y frenar el alcohol al volante– son similares, pero Madrid ha logrado mitigarlos mejor que Roma hasta ahora. El intercambio de buenas prácticas entre ciudades será valioso: por ejemplo, Roma podría inspirarse en las medidas de Madrid (reducción de velocidad, mejoras peatonales, zonas 30) , y Madrid debería observar con atención fenómenos de Roma (alta siniestralidad de motos) para evitar retrocesos. Solo mediante estrategias integrales, fiscalización rigurosa y cultura de movilidad segura, ambas capitales podrán seguir avanzando hacia el objetivo común de cero víctimas en sus calles.

While there are now some notable Latin American “Unicorns,” the region has lagged behind others when it comes to developing a venture economy. Then still, within Latin America, Colombia has until recently punched below its weight in attracting venture dollars. This may be changing now, and some intrepid Venture Capital firms are betting on Colombian talent and the country's technology infrastructure to produce results.Htwenty Capital is one of those early stage venture firms. During a recent event organized by the City of Medellín's investment promotion agency, ACI Medellín, Loren Moss, executive editor of Finance Colombia and Cognitive Business News was able to spend some time with the investment fund's Platform Lead, Jimena Cortés to discuss the unique challenges—and opportunities that Colombia presents when it comes to funding and growing high potential startups.Read the full article on Finance Colombia: Jimena Cortés Shares Why HTwenty Capital is Placing Venture Bets in Colombia Despite Unique ChallengesSubscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-un...Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

If you don't know Blake Podhajsky, Immediate Past President of ACI, you've been hiding under a rock. Blake has been a presence at the Association for Conservation Information for more than a decade now, and his recent two-year stint as president of the association resulted in a revamped conference planning process, a new association logo and a brand-new website. Blake has become a good friend to me over our years together in the association, and I thought it would be fun to poke around the areas of his life many of you may not know much about to hopefully reveal a bit about who Blake is, his vision for ACI and where he thinks we're going in the future. And if you are a fan of good practical jokes, stay tuned for a good one from ACI friend and mainstay, Eli Garnish.    If you have podcast topic ideas for me, please contact me at Timothy.A.Akimoff@odfw.oregon.gov

Across healthcare, new technologies often land in the hands of nurses without their input, adding complexity instead of easing it. In the age of artificial intelligence, more than ever, leaving nurses out of the design process risks creating tools that miss the mark, fail to build trust, threaten safety and security, and can add to the very burdens they're meant to relieve.  In this episode of our AI in Play series, we meet Ryannon Frederick, MS, RN, System Chief Nursing Officer at Mayo Clinic, who has restructured nursing leadership teams to ensure nurses identify the problems, co-develop the solutions, and remain partners from design through implementation and testing. Frederick shares how this “for nurses, by nurses” model is transforming innovation at Mayo, making nursing work visible, rebuilding trust in technology, and delivering tools like ambient documentation and nurse virtual assistants that give time back to patients and strengthen the workforce.  Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com, and for more information on the podcast bundles, visit ANA's Innovation Website at:  https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/education/.  Have questions for the SEE YOU NOW team?

Ai microfoni del nostro Claudio Chiari è stato ospite Giacomo Agostini, leggenda del motociclismo: nessuno ha vinto più titoli di Agostini nella storia delle due ruote a motore. È testimonial per l'ACI nella campagna di "strade sicure" per Bergamo: «Ci sono troppe buche pericolose e non curate, se ne centri una con la moto, puoi cadere e farti male - ha detto il campione 83enne -. Spesso chi deve intervenire si disinteressa, ed è un problema, perché molto di frequente quando ci succede qualcosa per strada la colpa è della nostra disattenzione e noncuranza». Nel corso dell'intervista a Radio Number One e in molti altri interventi, Ago ha sottolineato i comportamenti scorretti sia degli automobilisti («Essere alla guida di un'auto è come avere la rivoltella carica»), che di chi guida mezzi a due ruote. 

In this episode, Emilia Clavijo, Graduate Research Assistant at Auburn University, and Amanda Angelo, FACI, Regional Fiber Specialist at Sika USA, share their paths into civil engineering and the experiences that shaped their careers. Amanda discusses her unexpected shift from pre-med to civil engineering, sparked by a fascination with concrete, and how that passion led her to pursue a PhD in infrastructure materials engineering. Together, they reflect on the importance of fieldwork, committee involvement, and the balancing act of professional commitments. The conversation also underscores the supportive role of organizations like ACI, which provide community, mentorship, and opportunities that are vital to the growth of young professionals in the field.

Vincenzo Patanè"Una piccola goccia d'inchiostro"il ramo e la foglia edizioniwww.ilramoelafogliaedizioni.itIl romanzo, ambientato nel rione Sanità a Napoli, è basato su una storia vera e prende l'avvio dal casuale ritrovamento di sessantasei lettere che il protagonista, Elvio, zio dell'autore, inviò a sua sorella dal 1953 al 1965. Nello svolgersi delle vicende emergono via via i turbamenti sessuali adolescenziali di Elvio, la consapevolezza di essere attratto dagli uomini, la scoperta di non essere il solo a provare pulsioni di quel tipo, l'esplorazione del sesso, il primo amore. Parallelamente c'è la consapevolezza dell'impossibilità di esprimere a voce alta ciò che provava, da un lato per un soffocante controllo familiare, improntato a un rigido rigore morale, dall'altro per una società che, con il fascismo prima e con la società perbenista del dopoguerra, condannò duramente l'omosessualità.Nel romanzo vi sono molti stralci di quelle lettere, grondanti di umanità, focalizzate in particolare su due episodi: il viaggio che effettuò, ventiseienne, in Danimarca nel 1954, al fine di ottenere una riassegnazione di sesso sulla scia di quella di Christine Jorgensen del 1952, e la successiva relazione con un giovane napoletano, un amore sfortunato ma che pure mutò le sorti della sua vita.*«Per più di un'ora non si stancò di osservare i particolari di quel corpo che pareva emanare una luce, come se sotto la sua pelle ardesse una fiamma. I suoi occhi lo scandagliarono quasi volessero entrarci dentro, per scoprire una volta per tutte i segreti di quella perfezione, mentre i numerosi nei che ammantavano il suo dorso gli sembrarono come le stelle di un ideale firmamento di un microcosmo in cui si rifletteva tutta la meravigliosa semplicità del creato. A un certo punto, senza che neanche se ne accorgesse, le lacrime gli rigarono il volto. In quel momento, si sentiva grato alla vita per avergli concesso questo privilegio. Non aveva mai provato una felicità così grande.»Vincenzo Patanè nato ad Acireale ma napoletano per essenza e cultura, ha insegnato Storia dell'Arte presso il Liceo Artistico di Venezia. È autore della raccolta di versi Ebano Nudo (1982) e dei seguenti saggi: Cinema & Pittura (1992), A qualcuno piace gay (1995), Derek Jarman (1995), Shakespeare al cinema (1997), Arabi e noi (2002), L'altra metà dell'amore (2005), 100 classici del cinema gay (2009), Oasi gay (2010), L'estate di un ghiro.

Beleggers en analisten droomden van het cijferseizoen, maar ASML maakt er een kleine nachtmerrie van. Ineens durft de directie niet meer te voorspellen. Ze weten niet of ze volgend jaar nog groeien. Iets waar ze drie maanden geleden nog wél vanuit gingen. Het zorgt voor een enorme klap voor het aandeel. Ruim 11 procent eraf. ASML trekt bovendien andere tech-aandelen mee in z'n val. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die gigantische tegenvaller. En over die onzekerheid. Waar komt die onzekerheid precies vandaan en wanneer is 'ie weg? Naast ASML hebben we het ook over de tegenaanval van Europa. Volgens persbureau Bloomberg zijn de Fransen namelijk helemaal klaar met Trump en zijn dreigementen en zetten ze zwaar geschut is. Meerdere landen willen meedoen, al is een deel enorm bang voor een escalerende handelsoorlog. Een slagveld, zo is de handelsdag voor Renault het best te omschrijven. De topman vertrekt en laat het bedrijf achter met beroerde cijfers. Beleggers schrikken zo erg van die resultaten (en de vooruitblik), dat het aandeel Renault een van de ergste dagen ooit beleefd. Verder hebben we het over Jensen Huang van Nvidia, die is zich aan het inlikken in China. Scott Bessent hoeft zich dan weer niet in te likken bij president Trump. Die ligt zo goed bij hem, dat hij hem openlijk noemt als de nieuwe Fed-baas. Sluiten we af met goed nieuws. Goldman Sachs overtreft alles en iedereen. Schrijft zelfs geschiedenis!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Registered Sex Offender Admits to Murder-for-Hire Plot Against 12-Year-Old He Lured and Assaulted PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A 30-year-old Rhode Island man has pleaded guilty in federal court to luring a 12-year-old girl from her middle school, sexually assaulting her, and then attempting to hire a hitman from prison to silence her. Chandler J. Cardente, already a registered sex offender, entered the plea Thursday to three charges: enticement of a minor, committing a felony while required to register, and interstate murder-for-hire, Acting U.S. Attorney Sara Miron Bloom announced. Online deception and abduction Investigators say Cardente posed as a 17-year-old on social media to befriend the Burrillville Middle School student in the fall of 2021. On Dec. 10, after classes let out, the girl walked across a soccer field, through nearby woods, and climbed into Cardente's car on Route 102. When the child was reported missing, Burrillville police tracked her online messages and identified Cardente as the man she was with. Realizing officers were closing in, he pushed the girl from the vehicle on Jefferson Boulevard in Warwick. Warwick police soon found her curled up on the roadside; she told officers she had been assaulted. Plot hatched behind bars Cardente was arrested later that day in Cranston and booked into the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI). While awaiting trial, he phoned what he believed was a go-between for a contract killer, offering $200 cash and about $1,500 in equipment to ensure the girl “ended up dead” because, he said, she was “a witness.” The “contractor” was actually an undercover police officer recording the call. Prior record and penalties Cardente had previously been convicted in state court of child molestation and was under lifetime registration requirements when he committed the new crimes. Federal prosecutors say he now faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison on the enticement count alone, with potential decades more because of the murder-for-hire scheme and his status as a registered offender. He remains held without bail at the ACI. Sentencing is scheduled for April 23 in U.S. District Court, where Cardente also faces separate state charges stemming from the assault and abduction.

This episode was first shared in 2023, and here's what I had to say about it:You know, in all of the time that we've been doing this show we've never featured a sauna... but that's about to change!Our very first sauna is ACI, which was in San Antonio, Texas. And, showing us around is the subversive queer rapper Chris Conde. Now, Chris was a military brat, and so they moved around a lot when they were a kid. But, as a young adult they decided they wanted some stability, and so chose to settle in San Antonio. And it was here that they let go of religion, got sober, and then came out of the closet... again (?).Oooh, and for those who don't know, saunas, or bathhouse as they are commonly named in America, are places where people go for relaxation and... sex... let's be honest - it's mostly for sex. Anyway, they've kind of fallen out of fashion since the rise of the apps, but they were a huge part of queer (predominately male) culture for decades.

Should you invest in gold for the long term? Gold has been a great asset to hold over the last year, but I remain a skeptic of investing in gold long term. I personally don't own any gold nor would I recommend buying gold at this point in time. While the recent gains in the price of gold look attractive, given the fact it is up over 20% so far this year in a difficult market, the long-term results aren't enticing. There are periods of time where gold has been a strong performer, but trying to guess those periods is extremely difficult. If we look at January 1980 gold reached $850 per ounce, but the important number here is that the inflation adjusted price was $3,486 per ounce. This means it was not until recently when gold hit $3,500 per ounce, we see an all-time high on an inflation adjusted basis and essentially you made no real gain for over 45 years. At the end of the day gold is just a piece of metal worth only what the next person will pay for it. It has no earnings, no interest, no rents. This makes it extremely difficult to value and given the added expenses for trading and holding gold, it just does not make sense to me. I will continue to invest in good strong businesses at fair prices as I believe that is the best strategy for long term wealth creation.   Why is the government supporting universities with large endowments? I've never really thought about this before. I have known that some big universities have multibillion dollar endowment funds, but I did not realize that 658 institutions have approximately $874 billion, which is nearly $1trillion in endowment funds. When I dug a little bit deeper, I discovered that in addition to these universities receiving money from the federal government via grants, some pay little or no income tax and also get a waiver on property taxes. If you're starting to get a little bit irritated at this point because your hard-working dollars are going to universities like Harvard that has a $53 billion endowment or Yale with a $41 billion endowment, you might be like me and think it's time that things change. The cost of tuition at Harvard is $57,000 per year and the President makes about $1.3 million a year. The president of San Diego State University has a salary of $531,000 and the cost for one year of tuition is about $8700. I'm sure the students at Harvard do receive a more prestigious education than at San Diego State University, but is it 6 1/2 times better? Do the students that graduate from Harvard make a salary that's 600% more than a graduate from San Diego State University? I don't think so. I wondered where money from these endowments goes and basically 48.1% of endowment distributions go to fund student financial aid, 17.7% goes to academic programs and research, 10.8% is used for endowment faculty positions and nearly 17% of the endowment funds are used for other purposes. Wouldn't it be nice to know what those purposes are? I think we need to take a hard look at what universities have in their endowment funds, their tax benefits and grants, and let's have more students here in the United States benefit from those billions of dollars to get a good education as opposed to the fat cats in the Ivy League towers of the universities. One other point I found interesting was the investing philosophy for these endowment funds. The goal is to earn around 8% per year and pay out 4.5% to 5% to fund those various expenses. This should then allow the endowment fund to continue growing. A big problem is many have not been able to achieve that goal with only 25% of 152 schools that were surveyed being able to meet the 8% return over the last 10 years. The other concern is if they can't cut expenses if there is a lack of grants, many endowments are not liquid. Harvard for example had 39% in private equity, 32% in hedge funds, 5% in real estate, 3% in real assets, and just 3% in cash. With all this said I really believe this system should be reviewed to better the entire country, rather than just the Ivy League system.   Could the trade wars hurt home prices? We are starting to see some cracks in the housing market, such as the delinquency rate on FHA mortgages, which cater to the high-risk borrowers who can't qualify for a conventional mortgage because they either have a small down payment or weak credit. The delinquency rate for FHA currently stands at 11% according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, it has not been at this level for 12 years. Unfortunately, and we warned against it, but many people have stretched themselves too far financially to get into a home over the last few years. Because it's only been two or three years since they bought their home, after fees and commissions they may not have much if any equity built up in that home. Another area of weakness that is being seen is with the homebuilders who have really increased their incentives because they have more completed but unsold homes. The builders are getting a little bit worried because they have not seen this many homes sitting on their lots with no buyers since 2009. The average incentives for homebuilders is usually around 5% of the total value of the home, but we are starting to see some incentives around 13% from big builders like Lennar. The volatility of the 10-year treasury, which mortgages generally trade off of, has not been helpful because it has had a wide trading range lately. This then makes it difficult for homebuyers to lock in a good rate. At this point in time, I think I would be waiting to buy a home until maybe late summer. I think there should be some good deals at that point in time as the tariff war should continue to progress and we should have a clearer picture of the economy by that time.   Financial Planning: Why converting 100% of pretax is bad Roth conversions can be a powerful tax planning tool, but like any tool, using it the wrong way can do more harm than good. One of the most common mistakes we see is the idea that you should convert all of your pre-tax retirement savings, like a traditional IRA or 401(k), to a Roth account. Everyone loves the idea of a tax-free retirement. When you convert money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you're moving it from a pre-tax account to a tax-free account, but there's a price, the converted amount is considered income and you must pay ordinary income tax in the year of the conversion. Once converted funds grow tax-free. The best way to think about money in a pre-tax account is that it is deferred income.  It will be taxed, it's just a matter of when.  When you make contributions to a pre-tax account, you are not receiving a tax deduction, you are deferring income to a future year. When performing a Roth conversion, you are voluntarily deciding to pay tax on that income, even though you don't have to yet.  This only makes sense if you are able to convert at a lower tax rate than you would otherwise be subject to if you did not convert.  This most commonly happens between the beginning of retirement, typically in your 60's, and the beginning of your required distributions at age 75. During that period taxable income is generally lower which means conversions may be done at a lower tax rate than when required distributions begin at 75. Required distributions can be a problem because if you have too much in pre-tax accounts, your required taxable distributions may push you into a higher tax bracket and trigger IRMAA.  Roth conversions help this by shifting funds from pre-tax to tax-free, therefore reducing the level of taxable distributions beginning at 75.  However there is an efficient amount that should be converted for every person.  Converting 100% of pre-tax funds means you will likely be in a lower tax bracket after the conversions, and will potentially not have any tax liability at all.  This doesn't sound bad, but it means you likely paid too much in tax to convert the funds in the first place.  Again, money in a pre-tax account is deferred income that will be taxed.  The goal is to have that income taxed at the lowest rate possible.  If you convert too aggressively you may be settling for a higher tax rate on the money coming out and not receive enough tax-free income from the Roth to justify it.  Instead, structuring withdrawals and conversions to keep your taxable income consistently low all through retirement will result in a higher level of after-tax income.   Companies Discussed: Netflix (NFLX), The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Albertsons Companies, Inc.
