Ding Dong! I went downstairs and saw the younger neighborhood kids I had befriended. I was shocked. How did these little detectives know where I lived? I didn't tell them. “Hi,” I said.“Hey.

En France, c'est le début, vendredi 5 décembre, de l'édition 2025 du Téléthon, événement caritatif organisé depuis 1987 à l'initiative de Bernard Barataud et Pierre Birambeau, pères de garçons atteints d'une myopathie de Duchenne. Le but : récolter des fonds pour financer des projets de recherche sur les maladies génétiques neuromusculaires (myopathies) essentiellement, mais aussi sur d'autres maladies génétiques rares. Laurence Théault a rencontré Jacques, atteint de la myopathie de Duchenne. La myopathie de Duchenne est une maladie génétique qui amenuise progressivement l'ensemble des muscles de l'organisme, selon la définition médicale. C'est une maladie dégénérative. Pour Jacques, 22 ans, qui en est atteint, c'est autre chose. Le jeune homme aux grands yeux bleus est en fauteuil. Il explique qu'il ne peut rien faire tout seul : « J'ai les symptômes de la vieillesse. Lorsqu'on n'a plus de muscles, l'os se rétracte. La prise en charge est assez dure parce que, vous voyez, vous devez mettre des attelles la nuit. Il y a des matins où on se réveille et on n'arrive plus à faire quoi que ce soit parce qu'on a les mains trop contractées. C'est vrai que c'est un truc en plus qui vous demande de la discipline. Il y a le service militaire et il y a le service maladie de longue durée. » Le Téléthon permet « une avancée pour toutes les maladies » Pour Jacques, le Téléthon a joué un rôle très primordial. « Un rôle très important : la reconnaissance du malade. Et, ça fait avancer la cause. On voit de multiples personnes vous regarder comme si on était des extraterrestres », affirme-t-il. Grâce aux dons du Téléthon, l'Association française de myopathie (AFM) a pu créer ses propres laboratoires de recherche. Ils ont permis des avancées immenses dans la prise en charge des malades. Jacques explique par exemple que la myopathie peut affecter les yeux. « Ce sont des gens qui perdent du muscle au niveau de l'œil et qui donc deviennent aveugles. Grâce aux efforts du Téléthon, c'est une des grandes progressions. On a réussi à changer le gène, ce qui est quand même une prouesse scientifique. » Et puis, il y a cette expérimentation sur les chiens. Les chercheurs ont pu identifier les gènes responsables de maladies rares, et surtout, transformer cette connaissance en thérapie, dont un traitement très prometteur pour la myopathie de Duchenne. Le jeune homme de 22 ans n'y est pas, pour l'heure, éligible, mais il se réjouit pour les autres : « Ce qui est génial avec le Téléthon, c'est que quand on a une avancée sur une maladie génétique, on a une avancée pour toutes les maladies. » « Ce qui est génial avec cette maladie, c'est qu'on peut aimer encore plus les autres » La présidente du Téléthon dit : « Il ne faut pas se laisser avoir avec des mots comme ''incurable'' ou ''on y arrivera jamais''. » Une affirmation qui parle à Jacques. « Parce que quand on vous dit ''vous êtes incurable'', c'est assez traumatisant », enchaîne-t-il. « Ce que m'a appris cette maladie, c'est d'aimer ce qu'on a. Quand vous avez une famille qui est là, qui est proche de vous, faites des fêtes, amusez-vous, aimez les autres. Parce que ce qui est génial avec cette maladie, c'est qu'on peut aimer encore plus les autres », insiste Jacques. Du cœur pour aimer, Jacques en a beaucoup. Et le seul médicament qu'il prend est justement pour muscler le cœur. À lire aussiLa participation des Français de l'étranger au Téléthon 2024

Europe's macro outlook is shifting. After years of fiscal restraint and fragmented policy, the region is entering a new chapter one centered on pro-growth fiscal policy, energy security, and capital-market reform. For investors, this transformation signals the potential for renewed momentum in European equities and fixed income.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for EMEA Fundamental Equities, and Roelof Salomons, Chief Investment Strategist for Northern Europe at the BlackRock Investment Institute, about how Europe's evolving macro and investing environment is creating new opportunities across sectors.They explore how fiscal flexibility is enabling investment in productivity and innovation, how energy transition and AI demand are reshaping infrastructure and power markets, and why European banks, defense companies, and energy-efficiency leaders have emerged as standouts. The conversation also looks at the valuation gap between Europe and the U.S., the implications of potential ECB rate cuts, and what reforms could drive a broader, more durable resurgence.Key Takeaways:· Europe's shift toward fiscal flexibility marks its first explicitly pro-growth stance in over a decade.· The intersection of energy transition and AI is driving infrastructure and power investment.· Banks, defense, and efficiency-focused industrials remain strong performers.· Europe still trades at a discount to the U.S., offering selective opportunity.· Integration of capital markets could unlock long-term competitiveness.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Europe's Economic Challenges and Optimism01:10 Meet the Experts: Helen Jewell and Roelof Salomons02:17 Historical Context: Europe's Economic Journey03:51 Current Barriers and Progress in Europe05:40 Sector Focus: Defense, Banks, and Energy08:49 Fiscal Policy and Unified European Growth10:33 Energy and AI: The Long-Term Investment Landscape14:30 Valuation and Market Opportunities in Europe17:17 Conclusion: Path to a Broad Resurgence in Europe19:21 Closing Remarks and Future OutlookEurope investing; Europe macro; European equities; investing in Europe; capital-markets union; energy transition Europe; European fiscal policy; European banks; AI power demand; ECB rate cuts; BlackRock Investment Institute; European defense; valuation gap; competitiveness in EuropeSources: “What's needed for an investment renaissance in Europe?”, BlackRock Investment Institute, October 2025; NATO, August 2025; BlackRock Fundamental Equities analysis, September 2025; “Entering The Age of Electricity”, IEA Electricity Demand 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

39 procent. Dat is hoeveel winstgroei Disney ziet bij hun streamingafdeling. 12,5 miljoen mensen kozen afgelopen kwartaal voor een abonnement op Disney+ of Hulu. Ook bij de afdeling die over de pretparken, de cruisereizen en de merchandise gaat is het feest. Dus deelt Disney cadeautjes uit. Meer aandeleninkoop, en meer dividend. Maar toch zijn beleggers niet tevreden. Die zien vooral een terugloop in advertentie-inkomsten bij de tv-kanalen. Zijn beleggers verwend? Dat vragen we ons deze aflevering af. Dan gaat het ook over modehuis Burberry. Dat heeft eindelijk de smaak weer te pakken. Sinds de pandemie verschraalden de verkopen in China, maar er is weer sprake van groei! Maar is dat te danken aan de nieuwe strategie van Burberry, of hebben ze gewoon weer de wind in de rug in de hele sector? En je hoort over de zorgen van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten. Die ziet 'grote, complexe en ondoorzichtige risico's' door de enorme invloed van techbedrijven op die markten. En tot slot nog een prettig bericht, want je hoeft voorlopig het woord 'shutdown' niet meer te horen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Uniunea Europeană a prezentat Armeniei un plan de acțiune pentru liberalizarea vizelor care conține o foaie de parcurs a reformelor pe care țara trebuie să le implementeze pentru a garanta călătorii fără vize pentru cetățenii săi în statele membre ale UE, relatează site-ul de știri Hetq. Pe 5 noiembrie, ministrul armean de interne, Arpine Sargsyan, s-a întâlnit cu Johannes Luchner, director general adjunct pentru migrație și afaceri interne la Comisia Europeană. În timpul întâlnirii, au fost discutate principalele puncte ale planului de acțiune. Arpine Sargsyan a subliniat că Armenia se angajează să implementeze reformele necesare pentru a garanta cetățenilor săi posibilitatea de a călători mai ușor în Uniunea Europeană. Potrivit lui liberalizarea vizelor în Armenia este un pas important în parteneriatul cu UE, menit să consolideze încrederea reciprocă și cooperarea. În prezent, Republica Armenia este singura țară cu care Uniunea Europeană desfășoară un proces de liberalizare a vizelor. Kazahstanul închide 130 de platforme de criptomonede Kazahstanul și-a intensificat lupta împotriva criminalității financiare prin închiderea a 130 de platforme de criptomonede legate de spălarea banilor și a confiscat active digitale în valoare de 16,7 milioane de dolari (14,4 milioane de euro), a raportat Agenția de Supraveghere Financiară Kazahă (AFM).Potrivit AFM, aceste platforme bancare din umbră au fost utilizate de grupuri criminale din Kazahstan, Rusia, Ucraina și Moldova pentru a spăla venituri din traficul de droguri și frauda online.Agenția a descris o schemă în mai mulți pași: traficanții și infractorii cibernetici își transferau profiturile în monedă fiduciară sau criptomonedă, în portofele de schimb valutar, unde fondurile erau convertite și mutate printr-o serie de tranzacții pentru a le ascunde originea.Agenția a declarat că aceste schimburi ilicite acționau ca spălări de bani făcute de profesioniști, care colectau și transferau venituri din infracțiuni în străinătate. Se bazau pe conturi bancare și portofele aparținând unor oameni de paie. Conform legislației kazahe, sunt autorizate să funcționeze doar platformele licențiate de Autoritatea pentru Servicii Financiare din Astana (AFSA) și integrate în sistemul bancar național.Până în prezent, 27 de Furnizori de Servicii de Active Digitale (DASP), inclusiv 12 burse de criptomonede, sunt autorizați să opereze în Kazahstan. Toți sunt supuși unor obligații continue de supraveghere financiară și conformitate privind combaterea spălării banilor și a finanțării terorismului.AFM a descoperit, de asemenea, 81 de grupuri clandestine specializate în convertirea fondurilor ilicite în numerar, pentru un total de tranzacții care depășesc 38,5 milioane EUR. Pentru a remedia acest lucru, AFM și Banca Națională a Kazahstanului introduc noi măsuri de securitate: depozitele în numerar care depășesc 500.000 de tenge (aproximativ 800 EUR) vor necesita acum un număr de identificare personal. Se are în vedere verificarea biometrică prin recunoaștere facială sau amprentare.Kazahstanul își propune să reducă ponderea economiei subterane la 15% din PIB până la sfârșitul anului, deoarece autoritățile își consolidează controlul asupra unui sistem financiar aflat în rapidă digitalizare.

Investing in any market can feel daunting — but it doesn't have to. In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido sits down with Jim Cramer, investor, author, and host of Mad Money, to explore what it really takes to build wealth and confidence over time.Cramer's latest book, How to Make Money in Any Market, continues his mission of empowering everyday investors to take control of their financial futures. From lessons learned running a hedge fund to insights from decades in media, Cramer's message is clear: you don't need to be a professional to succeed - you just need discipline, curiosity, and patience. From the birth of the “FAANG” concept to the story behind naming his dog Nvidia, Cramer shares personal stories that illuminate his broader philosophy — that investing is about persistence, not prediction. He and Oscar also discuss long-term trends in capital markets, the role of index investing, and why hope and participation remain central to a healthy investing mindset.This episode covers:· Why Cramer believes this is the right moment for a new playbook on investing.· The power of compounding and why saving regularly still works in today's capital markets.· How technology — from online research to tools like ChatGPT — has transformed access to information.· Why he encourages investors to “do the homework” or choose a diversified index approach if they can't.· His pyramid-style investing framework: build positions slowly, remove emotion, and let time work for you.· What he's learned from mistakes, like overconfidence or losing faith too soon.· How curiosity, observation, and understanding the “craft” can help investors find opportunities all around them.Key timestamps in this episode:00:00 Introduction to Investing with Jim Cramer00:50 Jim Cramer's Journey and New Book02:37 The Importance of Saving and Investing04:12 How to Analyze Stocks and Develop Market Strategies06:10 Jim's Investment Ethos and Practical Advice19:16 Personal Insights and Lightning Round21:57 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewMad Money, Investing in any market, Stock market trends, Capital markets, Long-term investing, Financial education, Retail investors, Compounding, AI investingThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

This episode, Jeremy meets two editor/writers who have launched magazines. First, Maria Dimitrova discusses the magazine she has developed with co-editor Hayley Mlotek. AFM (for ‘A Fucking Magazine' or ‘A Feeld Magazine', take your pick!) launched last year in support of the dating app Feeld. She discusses how the magazine broadens the meaning of the brand, not simply selling the app but opening up the subjects of sex and relationships to a wider examination in subtle support of it. She also shares plans for the upcoming second issue of AFM. Then Anja Charboneau tells the story of building an indie empire. Starting in 2017 with cannabis magazine Broccoli, at first a free title, she has added Mushroom People, Catnip, Mildew and now music mag Heartbeat. She discusses working with a regular group of collaborators across multiple publications, her recipe for publishing success, and the reason she chose to close Broccoli, even as her other magazines were booming. broccolimag.com feeld.co/magazine We're grateful to our friends at Park Communications for their support of the magCulture Podcast.

Een opluchting voor Apple. Vorig jaar scoorde de nieuwe iPhone niet bepaald de pannen van het dak. Maar met de iPhone 17 ziet het er een stuk beter uit. Voor de eerste weken zijn de verkopen 14 procent hoger dan die van de voorganger. En in China is het een hit. Daar verkocht Apple er al zeker dubbel zoveel. Wat betekent dat voor de aankomende kwartaalcijfers? En kan Apple de grip op die Chinese markt vasthouden? Dat vertellen we je in deze aflevering. Over die Chinese markt gesproken, van de portemonnee van de gemiddelde Chinees moet Apple het niet hebben. De groei van de economie daar neemt af. Ondertussen broedt de regering op een nieuw plan om die groei de komende jaar op gang te houden. Verder gaat het over het best presterende aandeel van het jaar aan het Damrak. Defensiebedrijf Theon verovert de harten van beleggers. En de topman weet wel raak met al dat geld van beleggers. Hij wil namelijk uitbreiden naar meer dan alleen de nachtkijkers die hij nu produceert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gold and bitcoin are in the spotlight again - and for good reason. In this special narrative format episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido weaves together expert insights from previous Bid episodes to explain why interest in gold and bitcoin is rising now and what investors should consider before treating them as portfolio diversifiers.You'll hear from BlackRock experts about gold's enduring role and how growth fears, geopolitics, the U.S. dollar and real interest rates shape demand; and about bitcoin's design - digital assets, blockchain, cross-border payments - and engineered scarcity, plus the reality of cycles and operational considerations and how both can fit into a portfolio alongside traditional holdings.Check out the previous episodes in full:133.

De koers van bitcoin schoot de afgelopen week opnieuw omhoog, tot boven de eerdere records. Toch waarschuwt analist Bert Slagter van kennisplatform Bitcoin Alpha voor te veel euforie: volgens hem is “Uptober” geen natuurwet. De term verwijst naar de vaak stijgende markten in oktober, maar Slagter benadrukt dat het herstel alleen houdbaar is als het gepaard gaat met structurele signalen, zoals toenemende handelsvolumes en instroom in beleggingsproducten. De vraag is: wanneer is Bitcoin nu écht op weg naar veel hogere koersen? Of zit de markt al in die nieuwe fase? Ondertussen zorgt in Europa het advies van de European Systemic Risk Board voor opschudding. De belangrijke adviesraad wil een verbod op zogenoemde multi-issue stablecoins, digitale munten die worden gedekt door meerdere valuta of soorten activa. Volgens de ESRB is het toezicht op die munten onvoldoende, en kunnen ze in een crisis extra risico’s veroorzaken. Het verbod zou moeten voorkomen dat schokken op de cryptomarkt overslaan naar het bredere financiële systeem. Voor consumenten betekent het dat sommige stablecoins in de toekomst niet meer beschikbaar zullen zijn, terwijl bedrijven die de munten gebruiken hun betaalstructuren moeten aanpassen. Het advies is niet bindend, maar de kans is groot dat de Europese Commissie het meeneemt in verdere regelgeving. Daarmee past het in een bredere trend van toenemende controle op de cryptosector binnen de EU. De Europese Centrale Bank zette intussen een volgende stap richting de Digitale Euro. De ECB heeft de technische partners gekozen die de munt moeten helpen ontwikkelen. Onder meer Amazon Web Services, Worldline en CaixaBank gaan de komende maanden werken aan onderdelen zoals de infrastructuur en de koppeling met commerciële banken. De ECB bevindt zich in de laatste testfase van het project. Als die succesvol verloopt, kan in 2026 worden besloten of de Digitale Euro daadwerkelijk wordt ingevoerd. Aan de overkant van de oceaan is het vermogensbeheerder Vanguard die de cryptowereld in beweging brengt. Het bedrijf, dat jarenlang een afwachtende houding aannam, overweegt nu om handel in crypto mogelijk te maken op zijn platform. Volgens Bloomberg bekijkt Vanguard hoe het zich moet verhouden tot de groei van crypto-ETF’s, waarin miljarden dollars omgaan. Een dergelijke koerswijziging zou grote gevolgen hebben voor de legitimiteit van de sector. De Autoriteit Financiële Markten heeft voor het eerst sinds de invoering van de Europese cryptowet MiCAR een openbare waarschuwing uitgegeven. Het gaat om MEXC Global, een platform dat zonder vergunning actief is in Nederland. Volgens de AFM brengt dat risico’s met zich mee voor consumenten, omdat toezicht ontbreekt. Voor Nederlanders die gebruikmaken van MEXC betekent dit dat zij zelf opdraaien voor eventuele problemen, zoals verlies van tegoeden of conflicten met het platform. De waarschuwing zelf heeft geen juridische consequenties, maar is bedoeld om consumenten te waarschuwen. De timing van de waarschuwing valt samen met een bredere discussie over de effectiviteit van MiCAR. Bestuursvoorzitter van de AFM, Laura van Geest, schreef in het FD dat strengere regels en meer bevoegdheden voor de toezichthouder noodzakelijk zijn. Daarmee sluit zij aan bij een eerder pleidooi van de Franse toezichthouder, die twijfels uitte over de praktische toepasbaarheid van MiCAR. Het signaal uit Nederland kan worden gezien als een steun in de rug voor het Franse standpunt. De vraag blijft of het antwoord moet worden gezocht in nieuwe wetgeving, of in scherpere handhaving van bestaande regels. Voorlopig is duidelijk dat de AFM de publieke confrontatie niet schuwt. Op de markt zelf was het afgelopen week vooral onrustig rond de prijs van bitcoin. De koers zakte onder de 110.000 dollar, maar herstelde daarna tot zo’n 113.500 dollar. Tim Stolte, portfoliomanager bij Amdax, wijst erop dat bitcoin minder presteert dan andere markten zoals aandelen en goud. Terwijl aandelenindices nieuwe records neerzetten en goud profiteert van geopolitieke onzekerheid, blijft bitcoin achter. De afgelopen weken kabbelt de koers vooral voort. Of er binnenkort een uitbraak komt, is onzeker, maar de markt wacht zichtbaar op een nieuwe impuls. Verder kondigde ING samen met acht andere Europese banken de lancering aan van een gezamenlijke stablecoin. De munt, die wordt uitgegeven door een nieuw Nederlands bedrijf en onder toezicht van De Nederlandsche Bank komt te staan, moet een Europees tegenwicht vormen voor de dominante Amerikaanse stablecoins. Daarmee zetten de banken een stap in een markt die al grotendeels wordt beheerst door partijen als Tether en Circle. De vraag is of het initiatief niet te laat komt, en of het consumenten werkelijk iets oplevert. Critici wijzen erop dat een banken-stablecoin weinig toevoegt aan bestaande betaalmogelijkheden. Ook is het de vraag of dit project kan concurreren met de digitale euro waar de Europese Centrale Bank aan werkt. Co-host is Peter Slagter.

Retirement confidence is under pressure. While younger generations are entering the workforce with optimism, the latest Read on Retirement report reveals troubling gaps between savers, plan sponsors, and retirees. Only 38% of employers believe their employees are on track, and confidence among retirees has dropped to historic lows.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jamie Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Business, about the findings from a decade of retirement data. Together, they explore what's driving the confidence gap and the bold actions needed to close it.Jamie highlights three calls to action for the retirement industry: expand access to professional management, deliver guaranteed income solutions, and broaden portfolios to include private markets. She also underscores the need for education and re-enrollment so savers fully benefit from these innovations. With retirement confidence at a crossroads, this episode offers both a reality check and a roadmap for plan sponsors, policymakers, and individuals alike.Sources: BlackRock's Read on Retirement Survey, September 2025Key insights include:· Why retirement savers' confidence often outpaces employers' assessment, and what this paradox reveals.· How target date funds and auto-enrollment are making retirement saving easier and more effective.· Why guaranteed income solutions are increasingly vital to ensure retirees don't outlive their savings.· The growing importance of private markets in delivering long-term returns and diversification alongside public markets.· Differences across generations and genders in retirement confidence — and how advice and professional management can help bridge gaps.· How market volatility, student debt, and competing financial priorities continue to challenge long-term savers.Timestamps:00:00 Retirement Confidence at a Crossroads01:59 Key Findings and Confidence Gaps in the latest Read on Retirement Report04:40 Calls to Action for Retirement Preparedness08:39 Generational Differences in Retirement Planning10:35 Gender Gaps in Retirement Confidence12:12 Challenges and Future of Retirement Planning16:50 Personal Reflections and Advice18:36 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out episode 225 on retirement planning where we discuss what new legislation could mean for your retirement account: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mH8LyNQFsYSV0bxEH1NGU?si=ed429467800b4617Check out this playlist on investing for retirement here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fx1iZaBwLclqpswIbjUq
De cryptomarkt kende de afgelopen week een opmerkelijke omslag. Waar het er eerder nog somber uitzag, is de stemming nu volledig gekanteld. Bitcoin steeg in drie dagen tijd met zo’n achtduizend dollar naar 118.500 dollar. Daarmee lijkt de munt mee te liften op de onrust rond de Amerikaanse government shutdown en de koers van goud te volgen. Altcoins bewegen zoals vaak net iets harder mee. Tegelijkertijd richt de blik zich op het vierde kwartaal. Daarin beloven talloze bedrijven en netwerken gratis munten uit te delen via zogeheten airdrops. Daarmee proberen zij hun populariteit verder te vergroten, en het lijkt alsof iedereen daar nu tegelijk mee begonnen is. Bekende partijen zoals Metamask werken aan een eigen coin, terwijl ook verschillende protocollen in de wereld van decentralized finance meedoen. Voor wie de juiste stappen zet, ligt er gratis geld voor het oprapen. Toch is de praktijk weerbarstiger. De grootste beloningen gaan naar de meest actieve gebruikers, die al vroegtijdig betrokken waren of dagelijks met hoge bedragen handelen. Zo kregen de eerste gebruikers van het Plasma-netwerk duizenden dollars aan gratis tokens. Bij decentrale handelsplatformen belanden de beloningen vaak bij de groep die met grote volumes speculeert. Soms is ook registratie of het afstaan van gegevens nodig om mee te doen. Het toont vooral dat de verwachtingen voor de komende maanden hooggespannen zijn, ook al is er inhoudelijk weinig reden voor. In Nederland is er nieuws over de invoering van de Europese cryptowetgeving MICAR. Het platform BLOX heeft als één van de eerste Nederlandse partijen een vergunning van de AFM gekregen. Daarmee mag het bedrijf ook buiten Nederland actief worden. De aanvraagprocedure verliep stroef en lang niet alle bedrijven zijn op tijd binnen. Zo wachten onder andere Bitonic en Coinmerce nog altijd op goedkeuring. Zij opereren formeel zonder vergunning, al heeft de AFM eerder aangegeven dat er sprake kan zijn van maatwerk.
