On this week's episode, Tess Cameron, Josh Schimmer, Brian Skorney, and special guest Adam Feuerstein kick off with regulatory updates, including the FDA's rejection of Atara Biotherapeutics and Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals' cell therapy, Ebvallo -- a therapy that should have been approvable. The co-hosts then highlight ongoing inconsistencies at the agency and the challenge it creates for investors and companies as the regulatory goal posts continue to shift. Next, they discuss a New York Post editorial from the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine CEO Tim Hunt, who outlined how last‑minute reversals on rare disease and CGT approvals are leaving patients and biotech companies in limbo. The conversation then shifts to deals, including Gilead's $7.8B acquisition of Arcellx for full control of anito-cel for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, and Vir's pivot to oncology through a $1.7B collaboration with Astellas. In data news, the co-hosts cover CagriSema's head-to-head trial results against Lilly's Zepbound, Gossamer Bio's lung disease drug, seralutinib, which did not meet the primary endpoint in its Phase 3 pulmonary arterial hypertension study, and Palvella Therapeutics' positive topline results from the Phase 3 study of QTORIN rapamycin in microcystic lymphatic malformations. The episode closes with company updates, including Sarepta CEO Doug Ingram's retirement and Xenon Pharmaceuticals' upcoming seizure drug readout. *This episode aired on February 27, 2026.

ਘਰਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਿਫ਼ਾਇਤੀ ਦਰਾਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੈਨੇਟ ਜਾਂਚ ਦੌਰਾਨ CGT ਛੋਟਾਂ ‘ਤੇ ਤਿੱਖੀ ਚਰਚਾ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ। ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆਈ ਕੌਂਸਲ ਆਫ਼ ਟ੍ਰੇਡ ਯੂਨੀਅਨਜ਼ ਅਤੇ ਗ੍ਰੈਟਨ ਇੰਸਟੀਚਿਊਟ ਵਰਗੀਆਂ ਸੰਸਥਾਵਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ 50 ਫ਼ੀਸਦੀ ਕਰ ਛੋਟ ਅਮੀਰ ਨਿਵੇਸ਼ਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਧ ਲਾਭ ਪਹੁੰਚਾ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਨੌਜਵਾਨਾਂ ਲਈ ਘਰ ਖਰੀਦਣਾ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲ ਬਣ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ। ਮਾਹਿਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ, ਇਸ ਛੋਟ ਨੂੰ 25 ਫ਼ੀਸਦੀ ਕਰਨ ਨਾਲ ਬਜਟ ਨੂੰ ਅਰਬਾਂ ਡਾਲਰ ਮਿਲ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਘਰ ਖਰੀਦਣ ਦੀ ਦਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁਧਾਰ ਆ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਦੌਰਾਨ, ਖ਼ਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਮੰਤਰੀ ਜਿਮ ਚਾਲਮਰਜ਼ ਨੇ ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਬਜਟ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੁਧਾਰ ਦੀ ਸੰਭਾਵਨਾ ਤੋਂ ਇਨਕਾਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ।

El ministro de Gobierno bonaerense, Carlos Bianco, aseguró: “Con Fate como un caso muy emblemático, porque además es una, una empresa, eh, de ochenta años, de capitales argentinos, eh, digamos, de los casos históricamente exitosos de industrialización que había tenido en la Argentina. Inclusive, yo por mi desempeño profesional como docente universitario, como investigador, estudié bastante el caso de Fate en su momento, una empresa de punta que había hecho desarrollos inclusive en materia de innovaciones tecnológicas, etcétera. Aguantó todas las crisis económicas que tuvo la Argentina y hoy en día está cerrando su planta ahí en San Fernando”.“Quita derechos a los trabajadores y en contra del discurso que viene manteniendo el gobierno nacional, diciendo que esta reforma laboral va a facilitar la contratación y la formalización del empleo. No va a pasar eso”, agregó Bianco.El CEO de Neumen, Roberto Méndez, afirmó: “Yo digo que estaban robando las multinacionales. Nosotros los empresarios porque teníamos un marca que no era real. Nunca ganamos tanta plata en ese sentido como cuando nos permitieron hacer lo que estábamos haciendo. Veo bien lo de Sturzenegger cuando dice que va a obligar a todas las empresas adecuarse a una rentabilidad normal, que sería alrededor de un veinte por ciento. En un momento estamos marcando con un sesenta, setenta por ciento”.“La regulación tendría que ser fundamentalmente un anti-dumping contra la cubierta china. Por lo menos, estoy hablando en lo que respecta al neumático. No se puede competir con China. No se puede competir con China ni en las cubiertas ni en nada. Primero, porque no es una competencia normal. En China los salarios son otros, mucho más bajos. El horario de trabajo es otro, mucho más extenso. Eh, la calidad de la cubierta dista mucho de la calidad-- de una calidad de una cubierta nacional”, agregó Méndez.La senadora peronista disidente Carolina Moisées señaló: “La verdad es que asumo este desafío de ser la vicepresidencia del Senado ocupando el lugar que le corresponde a los veinticinco senadores del kirchnerismo, con todo respeto por cada uno de ellos, en la expectativa de quizá haber tenido la iniciativa y el coraje de ocupar algunos lugares y empezar a construir el peronismo del futuro”.Jorge Solá, cotitular de la CGT, aseguró: “Entiendo que nosotros hemos hecho el esfuerzo necesario. Hablamos con más de dieciséis gobernadores, con más de cuarenta senadores, con más de cincuenta diputados y efectivamente tratándolos de convencer y de hacerles ver lo nocivo que era este proyecto. A la luz de los resultados, pareciera que no ha alcanzado la mirada que eso y las coincidencias que muchos de ellos tuvieron, algunos de ellos representantes de su propia provincia en el cargo de gobernadores y de senadores”.Noticias del jueves 26 de febrero por el equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

In this episode we answer listener questions covering emergency funds for higher and additional rate taxpayers, and inheritance tax considerations around beneficiary SIPPs. We also discuss whether couples should rebalance pension contributions, the key steps to take before retiring abroad, and what to know about DB pension transfers. Finally, we look at cross-border pension taxation using the UK–Denmark double taxation treaty as an example. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA40    01:20  Question 1 Hi Pete & Roger, Thanks for all your helpful and easy to understand information. I have only been on my financial wellbeing journey for a year.  I work in the NHS and am in a higher tax bracket. I am fully enrolled in the NHS pension, more out of previous disinterest than any actual action on my part. I am single and currently saving up for a down payment on a house in about 4/5yrs. I maxed out my ISA last year and expect to do the same this year; this includes money for the down payment. I also took out a SIPP which I only recalled last year; I took it out 20+ years ago. However I am still waiting for a statement from the pension office before my accountant can work out how much more I can add to the SIPP.  In the interim I have my emergency fund in a premium bond (20k) but am worried it's being eroded by inflation. I expect to be an additional tax payer in the next few years. Where should I keep my excess cash? More in premium bonds with no tax but erosion by inflation; or open GIA or more in high interest savings account and pay the tax? Or is there another option you would recommend? Btw I have £600 in crypto (Coinbase and Etherium) but don't plan to put more than £400 more in then plan to forget about it. It's a tiny fraction of what I put in my ISA. Thanks, Joy   04:46  Question 2 Dear Pete and Roger. Love the podcast. I think it is essential listening for those wanting to elevate their knowledge of the incredibly important subject of financial planning and it also highlights the value add that financial professionals can provide. My mother is 79 and has a comfortable guaranteed inflation linked income via state and civil service pension, which is supplemented by savings (maxed premium bonds & healthy cash savings) and investments held in ISAs and a beneficiary SIPP from my late father who passed before 75yrs old (therefore the assets are income and CGT free). My mother is keen to minimise the IHT on the estate both her and my father worked so hard to create. Despite her comfortable situation, I still have to encourage her to spend and use your very helpful '40% off sticker' analogy on a regular basis. It is my understanding that SIPPs will be subject to IHT and income tax from 2027. As my sister and I are both additional rate taxpayers, we will potentially be subject to 67% tax on any assets remaining in the SIPP if the estate is above £1m IHT threshold. While the '67% off sticker' analogy is even more helpful to encourage her spending, it has triggered some planning. We are drawing down the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISA each year for my mum – keeping the income and CGT tax benefits for my mum while removing it from the double income and IHT tax on death. As part of the IHT planning we are now considering regular gifts from surplus income. When combined with her guaranteed income, the assets in the beneficiary SIPP are more than sufficient so sustain her lifestyle until her age would be well into three figures. Based on my reading, it appears any drawdown from SIPPs are considered 'income' for gifting purposes, regardless of if they come from capital or income. Therefore she could start to draw more 'income' from the SIPP and gift this surplus which could be considered IHT free. Are there any limits to how much or how quickly she could reasonably drawdown from a SIPP so that it would no longer be considered 'income' by HMRC for IHT purposes? i.e could she empty the SIPP over a 5 yr period, gift that as excess income, then reduce the gifts to reflect a different income and or expenditure? While all the drawdown from SIPPs is considered 'income' for IHT purposes, the treatment of withdrawals from ISAs or other investments are distinguished between whether they are actually capital or income. Therefore, we have the added complication of needing to balance the 'income' drawdown from the beneficiary SIPP to make sure she doesn't eat into 'capital' of the ISAs and savings which would then mean the gifts from regular surplus income would then be considered part of the estate again. Our circumstances mean my mum feels slightly trapped between keeping the SIPP (so it is considered income for gifts from regular income but gets IHT taxed at 67%), continuing to use the beneficiary SIPP to fund ISAs (reduce IHT liability but lose flexibility to gift it as income), maybe change the investment engine of the ISAs from a lower yielding balanced solution to something with a higher natural yield, or do something else altogether (lump sum gifts and hope to survive 3yrs for taper or 7yrs). Any thoughts or suggestion would be appreciated. While there are some relatively niche circumstances, I think it covers two more broadly applicable IHT planning considerations SIPPs v ISAs under the new rules and regular gifts from surplus income. Thanks in advance Stephen   17:06  Question 3 Hi Pete and Roger Thank you both for your continued help in navigating the financial maze and I am enjoying the listener questions. My wife works part time and is a basic rate tax payer. She pays into her workplace pension and contributes an additional 15%. Her pension provider receives 20% tax relief on these contributions. I am a higher rate tax payer and I make contributions to a SIPP. My pension provider receives 20% tax relief and I claim an additional 20% directly from HMRC. As a couple, we could stop making the additional contributions to my wife's pension and instead make them into my SIPP. This would give us an additional 40%, rather than 20%. Mathematically this makes sense. We haven't done this so far, as I like the idea that we are equally contributing to both of our pensions, for the future. It also helps keep things simple. I am mindful that one day, we may kick ourselves for not making this simple switch which may leave us with a significantly bigger pot, when we need it. What options would you consider in this decision of splitting pension contributions. Many thanks, Rob 20:17 Question 4 Dear Pete & Rog, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your podcast and the incredibly valuable information you share. Your conversations are not only insightful but also reassuring as I start to think more seriously about my own retirement planning! One of the things I'm considering is retiring abroad (somewhere sunny!) Spain most likely, and I wondered if you might explain the process you go through with such clients. Specifically, do you have a checklist, or a list of key questions, that you typically ask clients to work through before moving overseas? For example, I've learned that ISAs are not recognised in many EU countries (so it may be better to sell before leaving), and I imagine there are similar considerations around SIPPs/UK DC pensions and other investments. Do you also tend to liaise with financial planners or accountants based in the EU when helping clients prepare for such a move? I would be very grateful for any wisdom you could share. Thanks again for all the work you put into the podcast, it really does make a difference. Warm regards, Chloe 24:55  Question 5 Hi Pete, Love the podcast.  Very informative and user friendly. I have a question, once popular but maybe not so much now and one that will make advisers sweat again! I'm a sophisticated investor (so to speak!), I manage my own SIPP etc and I'm an accountant so I guess I have a head start over most people.  I have a net worth excluding my house of circa £2.5m spread across a SIPP, ISA, FIC and GIA. I also have an old DB pension.  I'm 59.  It pays out circa £6,500 from the age of 65.  My dad died aged 63.  Given my circumstances I want to transfer the DB scheme into my SIPP.  I have two children so would like them to get it rather than die with me so to speak.  The last transfer value I got was pre covid at circa £100k which I know isn't a brilliant multiple but I'm happy with that.  I'm fit and healthy but I'm not relying on the guaranteed pension given my other pension provisions. So, firstly is it likely the transfer value would have gone up or down given the increase in interest rates and secondly do you think I could get a positive recommendation from an adviser? Thanks, Oscar 31:35  Question 6 Dear Pete and Roger, Love the podcast. I'm a bit more of an adventurous investor than you usually caution, but you provide a certain "passive-tracker-Yin" to my "property-investment-Yang". Given your backlog I'm going to ask you a pension question that I probably don't have to think about for 20 years, so you have time to get to it. I worked in Denmark for several years and paid into a pension scheme while I was there. I believe it is structured similarly to a UK DB pension scheme. There is an initial lump sum plus an income for life.  This pension fund is not covered by QROPS, so there is no transferring my way out of this complexity. The Danish pension fund thinks I'll be paying Danish income tax (presently 37-38%), Chat GPT is adamant that I'll be paying UK Tax. Who's right? If taxed in the UK I can imagine getting the tax free cash allowance right might be complicated. Is there anything else I should be considering? Best Wishes, James

Are we looking the wrong way? As property investors fret over likely lifts in Capital Gains Tax, the bigger issue for long term investors is interest rates: Despite the industry-wide assumption that we are in a new rate hike cycle, it is looking increasingly likely that rates are not going to go through the roof, in fact some already believe we should be thinking about lower rates in the near future.

Change is definitely afoot in the investment climate here in Ireland. Up to this governments of all stripes almost discouraged households investing their own money in the capital markets with really high capital gains tax and other charges. But will slashing CGT achieve the desired result and will Irish people break a habit of a lifetime when it comes to investing their risking their savings?

Listings are tight. Rents are tighter. And policy might be about to test both. Pete Wargent and Chris Bates to break down the forces shaping Australian property in 2026 — from capital gains tax reform chatter and rental market stress to financing resilience and where momentum still exists. The focus: what actually changes behaviour, and what just makes headlines. Together, they discuss: - Unemployment holding keeps the possibility of further rate hikes alive - First-home buyers continue pushing ahead - Record quarterly housing finance and lift in investor lending show capital is still active - Winding back the CGT discount may reduce flipping but is unlikely to deter investors -Vacancy rates near record lows - Without investor participation, rental availability deteriorates further - Seller behaviour matters more than headlines; listings remain historically tight - Listener Q&A Resources for this episode Ask a question (select the Property podcast) Rask Resources Pete's Buyers Agency Alcove mortgage broking Amy Lunardi Buyers Agency (Melbourne) All services Financial Planning Invest with us Access Show Notes Ask a question We love feedback!

En una sesión extensa y atravesada por fuertes cruces políticos, protestas en las calles y el paro general de la CGT, la Cámara de Diputados dio media sanción a la reforma laboral impulsada por el oficialismo. El diputado Diego Giuliano cuestionó en EME con dureza el proyecto y advirtió que contradice derechos constitucionales básicos.

Este jueves la Confederación Argentina de Trabajadores ha convocado a un paro nacional. Tras varias manifestaciones en el país contra la reforma laboral impulsada por el Gobierno de Javier Milei y votada en el Senado, los diputados argentinos deben ahora discutir el proyecto. Una propuesta que, según abogados en derecho laboral, representa un retroceso legal. Rediseñar los tiempos de trabajo, reducir el costo de un despido para la empresa, restringir el alcance de los sindicatos... Estas y otras medidas están contempladas en la reforma laboral que busca impulsar el Gobierno de Javier Milei. Jornadas extendidas, vacaciones fraccionadas, pérdida del poder de los sindicatos… “Para empezar, la creación del banco de horas, que va a implicar que los trabajadores puedan tener jornadas extendidas hasta 12 horas diarias. Estas horas se van a ir acumulando a un banco del cual va a poder disponer el empleador, de modo tal que no se supere un máximo mensual, y de modo también que dejan de existir las horas extras. Luego, en materia de indemnizaciones laborales, no va a ser el mejor sueldo, entonces las indemnizaciones se van a ver reducidas en cuanto a la base de cálculo y reducidas también en cuanto al monto”, explica para RFI la secretaria general de la Asociación de Abogados y Abogadas Laboralistas (AAL), Romina Stampone. “El fraccionamiento de las vacaciones, lo que otorga es la facultad de poder fraccionarlas en periodos no inferiores a una semana: el empleador puede decidir darte una semana de vacaciones ahora, otra en octubre... Y por otro lado, le sumas a esto que va a haber una pérdida del poder real de los sindicatos porque se promueve la negociación colectiva a nivel de empresa, no en la totalidad de la actividad”, agrega. La semana pasada el Senado argentino aprobó el proyecto con 42 votos a favor y 30 en contra. Ahora llega a la Cámara de Diputados. La Libertad Avanza asegura que conseguirá 140 votos sobre 257 diputados, entre los cuales 95 del oficialismo, apoyados por sectores de la llamada oposición dialoguista. La senadora oficialista Patricia Bullrich dijo haber negociado con la CGT. “Incumple con el principio de progresividad” Para Stampone, la reforma es contraproducente: “Se dice que la reforma se piensa con la finalidad de generar empleo, lo cual va a ser absolutamente falso. La reforma precariza e invita a un despido que además es absolutamente tarifado y calculado, mucho más de la tarifa que ya preveía nuestra ley, con lo cual no va a ser generador de empleo. Desde la Ley de Bases, la anterior reforma que entró en vigencia el 9 de julio del año 2024, se perdieron ya más de 250.000 puestos de trabajo. Cerraron una enorme cantidad de pequeñas y medianas empresas. Hoy amanecimos con la noticia de que cierra sus puertas Fate, una empresa de neumáticos muy grande, muy conocida y que deja cerca de mil familias sin puesto de trabajo. Ese es la mayor preocupación”, lamenta. Según ella, no cuaja con los principios constitucionales. “La contrarreforma laboral que se está proponiendo es una reforma regresiva en materia normativa en nuestro país. Incumple de este modo con el principio de progresividad y no regresividad que nuestra Constitución nacional toma de tratados internacionales de derechos humanos que tienen jerarquía constitucional. Legislar de este modo implica una violación para nuestro país de pactos internacionales que ya fueron asumidos con anterioridad”, subraya para concluir Stampone.

L'Argentine est à l'arrêt ce jeudi 19 février 2026 alors que le président argentin Javier Milei fait face à sa quatrième grève générale en un peu plus de deux ans de mandat. Un appel à la grève générale lancé par la CGT, principale centrale syndicale du pays, contre sa réforme de dérégulation du travail. Le texte qui a déjà été adopté par le Sénat, passe aujourd'hui devant le Congrès. C'est dans ce contexte tendu que le principal producteur de pneus d'Argentine a fermé ses portes hier (18 février 2026). Fate existait depuis 80 ans, nous apprend Infobae. Aujourd'hui, 920 personnes se retrouvent sans emploi. L'entreprise n'est pas en faillite ou en liquidation judiciaire. Elle ferme ses portes tout simplement, précise le quotidien. C'est la première grande entreprise argentine à le faire au cours de ses dernières années. « L'usine, la plus plus grande d'Argentine, produisait plus de 5 millions de pneus par an », précise le Buenos Aires Times. Qu'est-ce qui a poussé Fate à jeter l'éponge ? Le communiqué publié par l'entreprise et que l'on peut lire dans Infobae, est assez laconique. Il y est question de « changements des conditions du marché (qui) nous obligent à aborder les défis futurs avec une approche différente » et à « mettre fin à tous les contrats de travail ». « Depuis un an et demi, Fate perd entre deux et trois millions de dollars chaque mois », indique La Nacion. Pour le Buenos Aires Times, l'explication est à chercher du côté de la libéralisation des échanges décidée par le gouvernement de Javier Milei, qui a conduit à une forte hausse des importations. « Le secteur industriel argentin traverse une crise majeure », écrit encore le quotidien.   Polémiques autour du nouveau président péruvien José Maria Balcazar, issu des rangs de la gauche, prend les rênes du Pérou pour quelques mois. Mais ce qui pose problème, ce sont ses prises de position en faveur du mariage des enfants, souligne El Comercio. En juin 2023, au cours du débat devant la Commission de la Justice sur l'interdiction du mariage des mineurs, il a affirmé que les relations sexuelles précoces « aident au développement psychologique futur de la femme » du moment qu'il n'y a pas de violence, rappelle La Republica. Autres taches sur son CV : des accusations de détournements de fonds et de corruption. Dans un communiqué dont se fait l'écho La Razon, l'Ordre des avocats de Lambayeque, ville dont est originaire José Maria Balcazar, dit son opposition à son élection en tant que chef de l'État et rappelle qu'il a été renvoyé de l'ordre pour des manquements éthiques. Il fait l'objet de plusieurs plaintes, insiste La Republica. Son élection est une « irresponsabilité impardonnable », s'insurge El Comercio. Le Parlement a commis « une erreur historique ». Les « déclarations et les convictions » de José Maria Balcazar sont « incompatibles avec les principes démocratiques et les droits humains fondamentaux », poursuit le journal qui dénonce la « déconnexion morale » des parlementaires péruviens.   Certaines régions touristiques de Colombie aux mains de groupes armés En Colombie, le journal El Tiempo s'inquiète de l'influence du Clan del Golfo dans la région de Santa Marta, dans le nord. Le cartel « gouverne-t-il » cette région, se demande le journal qui raconte comment un simple accident de voiture a permis de mettre en lumière une réalité préoccupante. Le fils d'un militant écologiste a eu un accident au volant d'une voiture de location près d'une plage. Des hommes à moto sont immédiatement arrivés et ont exigé 1,5 million de pesos, un peu moins de 350 euros, pour soi-disant « compenser les dégâts ». Un cas qui illustre le contrôle exercé par des groupes armés dans plusieurs secteurs touristiques, écrit El Tiempo. « Le racket est devenu la norme, à tel point que cela fait partie du fonctionnement économique quotidien », explique au journal le défenseur des droits humains, Lerber Dimas. C'est même considéré comme « un service public supplémentaire » dont il faut s'acquitter pour pouvoir travailler. Un vendeur de Taganga, village sur la côte des Caraïbes, explique ainsi que les gangs se servent sur « chaque chaise louée, chaque poisson vendu, chaque billet de bateau acheté ». Pendant ce temps-là, les négociations avec ces groupes criminels lancées par le gouvernement dans le cadre du processus de « paix totale » n'avancent pas vraiment, constate El Tiempo. Mais ailleurs dans le pays, les accords de paix de 2016 et les efforts de Gustavo Petro portent leurs fruits.

Este jueves la Confederación Argentina de Trabajadores ha convocado a un paro nacional. Tras varias manifestaciones en el país contra la reforma laboral impulsada por el Gobierno de Javier Milei y votada en el Senado, los diputados argentinos deben ahora discutir el proyecto. Una propuesta que, según abogados en derecho laboral, representa un retroceso legal. Rediseñar los tiempos de trabajo, reducir el costo de un despido para la empresa, restringir el alcance de los sindicatos... Estas y otras medidas están contempladas en la reforma laboral que busca impulsar el Gobierno de Javier Milei. Jornadas extendidas, vacaciones fraccionadas, pérdida del poder de los sindicatos… “Para empezar, la creación del banco de horas, que va a implicar que los trabajadores puedan tener jornadas extendidas hasta 12 horas diarias. Estas horas se van a ir acumulando a un banco del cual va a poder disponer el empleador, de modo tal que no se supere un máximo mensual, y de modo también que dejan de existir las horas extras. Luego, en materia de indemnizaciones laborales, no va a ser el mejor sueldo, entonces las indemnizaciones se van a ver reducidas en cuanto a la base de cálculo y reducidas también en cuanto al monto”, explica para RFI la secretaria general de la Asociación de Abogados y Abogadas Laboralistas (AAL), Romina Stampone. “El fraccionamiento de las vacaciones, lo que otorga es la facultad de poder fraccionarlas en periodos no inferiores a una semana: el empleador puede decidir darte una semana de vacaciones ahora, otra en octubre... Y por otro lado, le sumas a esto que va a haber una pérdida del poder real de los sindicatos porque se promueve la negociación colectiva a nivel de empresa, no en la totalidad de la actividad”, agrega. La semana pasada el Senado argentino aprobó el proyecto con 42 votos a favor y 30 en contra. Ahora llega a la Cámara de Diputados. La Libertad Avanza asegura que conseguirá 140 votos sobre 257 diputados, entre los cuales 95 del oficialismo, apoyados por sectores de la llamada oposición dialoguista. La senadora oficialista Patricia Bullrich dijo haber negociado con la CGT. “Incumple con el principio de progresividad” Para Stampone, la reforma es contraproducente: “Se dice que la reforma se piensa con la finalidad de generar empleo, lo cual va a ser absolutamente falso. La reforma precariza e invita a un despido que además es absolutamente tarifado y calculado, mucho más de la tarifa que ya preveía nuestra ley, con lo cual no va a ser generador de empleo. Desde la Ley de Bases, la anterior reforma que entró en vigencia el 9 de julio del año 2024, se perdieron ya más de 250.000 puestos de trabajo. Cerraron una enorme cantidad de pequeñas y medianas empresas. Hoy amanecimos con la noticia de que cierra sus puertas Fate, una empresa de neumáticos muy grande, muy conocida y que deja cerca de mil familias sin puesto de trabajo. Ese es la mayor preocupación”, lamenta. Según ella, no cuaja con los principios constitucionales. “La contrarreforma laboral que se está proponiendo es una reforma regresiva en materia normativa en nuestro país. Incumple de este modo con el principio de progresividad y no regresividad que nuestra Constitución nacional toma de tratados internacionales de derechos humanos que tienen jerarquía constitucional. Legislar de este modo implica una violación para nuestro país de pactos internacionales que ya fueron asumidos con anterioridad”, subraya para concluir Stampone.

El secretario general de SADOP en Santa Fe y dirigente de la CGT, Pedro Bayúgar, calificó de “desprolija” la oferta paritaria del Gobierno provincial. Señaló que el esquema incluye montos no remunerativos que no impactan en la jubilación y achatan la escala salarial docente.EME Medios

El cotitular de la CGT Cristian Jerónimo aseguró sobre el paro general en contra de la reforma laboral: “Queremos decirle que mañana la medida de fuerza va a ser contundente. Va a estar parada la Argentina de una punta a la otra. Así que... Y este es el principio. Digo, queremos que se escuchen, queremos que se respeten a los trabajadores. Basta de cierre de empresa, basta de pérdida de trabajo, basta de mentira. Necesitamos que le devuelvan la dignidad al pueblo argentino. Basta de mirar a los que más tienen, basta de la especulación financiera en Argentina. Todo lo que se hace, se hace para los sectores que, que, que concentran muy poco, muy poco en nuestra sociedad, que gobiernan para los cuarenta y siete millones de argentino”.“Decirle a también a los diputados y diputadas y a sus gobernadores, que representan a las distintas provincias, que no se olviden, que no dejen las convicciones en la puerta de la Cámara de Diputados, que tengan muy claro que el pueblo argentino no se va a olvidar de los que traicionen y le den la espalda a los trabajadores. Nos llama poderosamente la atención si los que están al frente del Gobierno están a la altura de las circunstancias para llevar adelante nuestro país. Digo, porque pasaron cosas gravísimas, el caso Libra, el ANDIS, todas las cosas que pasaron. Pero quédense muy tranquilos que por el único lugar que van a recorrer dando, dando, hablando, va a ser por Comodoro Py el día que termine este gobierno”, agregó Jerónimo.El gobernador de Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo, sostuvo: “Estamos en democracia y siempre y cuando sea un paro que esté dentro de las leyes y las reglamentaciones, hay que respetarlo. En ese sentido, sí hay que aclarar que muchas veces los paros no aportan nada, simplemente son, son días que se paraliza totalmente todas las actividades y más si para el transporte, la gente por más voluntad que tenga de, de ir a trabajar, no lo puede hacer. Yo respeto la decisión de la CGT, pero ¿y después del paro, qué? Nada, seguimos igual”.Otro cotitular de la CGT, Jorge Sola, señaló: “Dice que viene a modernizar. Si ustedes se fijan un detalle, no hay una sola modernización. No hablan de tecnología, no hablan de inteligencia artificial. Es más, derogan la ley de teletrabajo, una ley que se asemejaba bastante a, a un modo de, de relación de trabajo después de la pandemia. Dejan afuera a los trabajadores de las aplicaciones. Profundizan los monotributistas sacándolos de la posibilidad de tener su relación de dependencia y no genera empleo. Además de un fuerte sesgo ideológico”.Lilia Lemoine se refirió a los despidos de Fate:  “Quiero hablar en representación de más de quince millones de argentinos que tienen vehículo en este país, muchos de los cuales su trabajo depende de tener un vehículo y que seguramente se han visto beneficiados por las políticas de apertura económica de este país, por las importaciones que pueden ocasionar algo que no les guste al kirchnerismo y a la izquierda o al dueño de Fate, que es uno de los hombres más ricos de la Argentina. También dueño, dueño de Aluar, que está extorsionando con causar daño al Gobierno”.Noticias del jueves 19 de febrero por el equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

Con Noelia Martín, del sector ferroviario de CGT; Carlos Martínez, secretario de Medio Ambiente de CCOO; y Juanjo Álvarez, de Anticapitalistas. El reciente y trágico accidente de tren sucedido en Adamuz, ha reabierto el debate sobre el modelo de transporte ferroviario, especialmente centrado en la alta velocidad. En el próximo foro de Viento Sur, debatiremos sobre este modelo, en el marco de una crisis multisistémica cada día más evidente, y qué respuestas podemos dar desde una perspectiva ecosocialista.

In this Australian Retirement Podcast episode, your hosts Drew Meredith from Wattle Partners and James O'Reilly from Northeast Wealth deliver critical updates on tax changes and relationship traps that could cost you thousands. After quick summer highlights and the CBA share price update (plenty of AI-driven outperformers despite volatility), they dive into the Boomer Briefing's two massive topics: PROPOSED CGT CHANGES - New proposals threatening the capital gains tax discount could dramatically affect retirement planning and asset sales. Drew and James break down what's being proposed, who's pushing for it, which assets are targeted, and what retirees should do RIGHT NOW before potential changes take effect. Should you accelerate asset sales? Change your portfolio strategy? This is urgent information every retiree needs. INTEREST RATES & INVESTMENT MARKET IMPACT - What's happening with rates and how it's reshaping portfolio strategies heading into 2026. Then comes the de facto relationship pension trap: "Not Your Average Listener" asks: "I'm 64M on Disability Support Pension with limited assets. My partner (57F) is working full-time with investment properties and shares - doing much better financially than me. We're looking to move in together soon, but I'm concerned about what this will do to my pension. Can you demystify this for me?" Plus: Savvy Stay-at-Home Mum's credit card hack - Using interest-free periods with a redraw account to save $10K/year on a $200K mortgage. Does it actually work over 10 years?

Las noticias del día por el equipo de De Acá En Más.Osvaldo Lobato, secretario gremial de la CGT, dijo: “Como se resolvió hoy en el consejo directivo, va a haber un paro sin movilización para el día que se trate la ley. Puede ser este jueves o la semana que viene. Sí, casi con seguridad sería este jueves, pero existe la posibilidad que se traslade una semana más también”.Omar Maturano, secretario general de “La Fraternidad”, afirmó: “Yo creo que la reforma se para si nosotros hacemos un paro por tiempo indeterminado. Como hicieron los bolivianos hace... un mes y pico”.Patricia Bullrich, expresó: “Tuvimos un error, porque la ley original no distingue entre enfermedades. El error no fue haber aclarado las enfermedades severas, degenerativas o irrecuperables. Ahí tuvimos un error que, bueno, digamos, te puede pasar en doscientos diez artículos que tiene la ley, te puede pasar”.Germán Martínez, afirmó: “Yo leía algo de eso que le están queriendo encontrar la vuelta, no, pero para adentro, digo, ojalá que hagan alguna de esas cosas que están diciendo porque hace impugnable toda la ley. Así que, por lo tanto, cualquier cambio que le quieran hacer tiene que volver al Senado”.Daiana Fernández, diputada nacional por el PRO, sostuvo: “De ninguna manera podemos permitir que vuelva al Senado. Esto te lo digo yo porque voy a decir un ejemplo que me va a denotar mi edad. Pero ¿se acuerdan el Roland Garros de Coria con Gaudio? Gaudio no tenía muchas chances de ganar y sin embargo, le gana a Coria. Y todos decían: «Quédate tranquilo, esto lo volvés-- Esto vos te vas a ganar mil Roland Garros. Olvidate, Coria, la tuya está». ¿Qué pasó? Bueno, no pasó más”.Alejandra Monteoliva, ministra de seguridad, dijo: “El detenido de ayer es impresionante.

Allez, on fait le point sur le blocage du port de Marseille par des marins en grève. Come on, let's take stock of the blockade of the port of Marseille by sailors on strike.En gros le topo c'est ça : des marins français bloquent un énorme navire de croisière. Basically, the situation is this: French sailors are blocking a huge cruise ship.Pourquoi ? Et bien pour protester contre une concurrence qu'ils jugent totalement déloyale et qui menace directement leurs emplois. Why? Well, to protest against competition they consider totally unfair and which directly threatens their jobs.Premièrement sur le terrain, qu'est-ce qui se passe concrètement ? First, on the ground, what is happening concretely?Vous avez le MSC Orchestra, un paquebot géant avec plus de 3 200 passagers, qui est complètement immobilisé à l'entrée du port. You have the MSC Orchestra, a giant cruise ship with more than 3,200 passengers, which is completely immobilized at the port entrance.Les marins grévistes, qui sont menés par le syndicat CGT, bloquent physiquement l'accès nord. The striking sailors, who are led by the CGT union, are physically blocking the northern access.Du coup, c'est simple, aucun navire ne peut accoster de ce côté. As a result, it's simple: no ship can dock on this side.Deuxièmement, la cause de toute cette colère. Le cœur du problème, c'est la concurrence déloyale. Secondly, the cause of all this anger. The heart of the problem is unfair competition.Il y a des compagnies étrangères qui naviguent sous pavillon international, italien notamment, et qui opèrent sur des lignes françaises, comme vers la Corse. There are foreign companies sailing under international flags, notably Italian, which operate on French lines, such as towards Corsica.Le souci, c'est que ces compagnies emploient des marins avec des contrats non français et ils sont payés beaucoup, beaucoup moins cher. The concern is that these companies employ sailors with non-French contracts and they are paid much, much less.On parle de 650 à 1 200 dollars par mois. We are talking about 650 to 1,200 dollars per month.Forcément pour les compagnies françaises comme Corsica Linea, qui respectent la loi, la compétition est juste impossible. Inevitably, for French companies like Corsica Linea, which follow the law, competition is simply impossible.Ils exigent que l'État français intervienne. They demand that the French state intervene.Ils veulent que toutes les compagnies qui opèrent en France respectent la loi française. They want all companies operating in France to respect French law.

"Politics is about choices—who do you stand with and for, and who are you against?"⭐ The debate over the capital gains tax discount is here to stay. Many Gen Z's and Millennials are fully aware that they will be unable to afford a home without major tax reform - and that's only the start.But with older and asset-rich Australians benefiting heavily from the CGT discount, is it too politically dangerous to give it the axe?

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Paul Glossop and Phil Tarrant discuss the economic forces shaping Australia's property market and what they mean for investors. Glossop outlines how unexpected inflation data has prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia to reconsider its rate path, fuelling speculation about future interest rate movements. The hosts note a divide among major banks: some forecast stability, while Westpac anticipates further hikes, adding to market uncertainty. Drawing on insights from Chris Joye of Coolabah Capital, the episode highlights how shifting economic data has challenged earlier forecasts and reinforced the need for investors to remain adaptable. The conversation also examines debates about persistent inflation, including criticisms that government spending and subsidies contribute to it. Glossop stresses that investors should focus on fundamentals and adopt disciplined strategies to navigate these headwinds. Potential policy changes, such as adjustments to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount, are flagged as risks that could dampen market liquidity by encouraging investors to hold properties longer. Despite these pressures, strong housing demand, structural undersupply, and strategic planning continue to support long-term opportunities for property investors.

Pete and Roger answer six listener questions covering Coast FIRE strategies with GIAs, US 401(k) tax implications in the UK, record keeping for IHT-exempt gifts, Australian pension taxation for UK residents, pension contributions to avoid the £100k tax trap, and managing a £2M portfolio as Power of Attorney. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA39    01:17  Question 1 Hi Pete and Roger, I'm 29 and working towards Coast FIRE within the next 2–3 years so I can begin a digital nomad lifestyle — working remotely while knowing my long-term retirement is taken care of. Right now, I've got: - £45k in a Stocks & Shares ISA - £25k in a workplace pension (via salary sacrifice) - A Lifetime ISA for a future house deposit (or later retirement) - A fully funded emergency fund I've already maxed out my ISA for this tax year and plan to continue doing that every year. But I have more money to invest now, and I know that to reach Coast FIRE on my timeline, I need to start using a General Investment Account (GIA). Here's where I'm stuck: I want to keep things simple and tax-efficient, but I feel a bit nervous about GIAs. I keep hearing about the "bed and ISA" strategy but don't really understand how it works in practice or how to implement it over time. Could you explain: - How best to use a GIA alongside an ISA when working towards FIRE? - How to manage capital gains and dividend tax efficiently? - And how the bed and ISA approach actually works — especially for someone trying to keep things simple? Thank you both so much — your podcast has been an incredible resource and a big part of why I've been able to take control of my finances. Warmly, Pauline 12:22  Question 2 Hello Pete & Roger I am very late convert to the podcast but have been ploughing through the Q&A for a few days now. I think I only have another 592 episodes to get through so should be up to date by the end of the week !! I am not sure whether this has been covered or not. I have a 401K plan that has been hibernating in the USA for 20 years. I have only recently started looking at it and now need to understand the tax implications. I have tried to read HMRC guidelines on tax treaties etc but get even more confused than before. My current belief is that the provider will pay this money out by means of US issued cheque (not a problem) but withhold 30% tax (a problem). How will HMRC treat this? The usual sources http://unbiased.co.uk for one run for the hills on finding information about this, is this an area you can provide guidance, but obviously not advice as I know you cannot through the podcast. Regards, Stephen 16:10  Question 3 Hi Pete & Roger, Like so many people I am really impressed, not just with your knowledge and great communication skills, but that you put out such life changing content. You're providing us with the means to help ourselves in this financial world as well as letting us know when to seek professional help. On to my question: we're (wife and I) retired (late-60s) and are lucky enough to have more than enough to comfortably live on, thanks to DB & state pensions, house price inflation etc. Not really through any financial planning but just having been born at the right time! So we do now have an IHT liability. We have a joint second death Whole Of Life policy (in trust) in place for potential IHT and have given help with house deposits for our children. We also are gifting to the kids out of our excess income and would like your thoughts on the type of record keeping needed for this. We have letters stating the intention to give the gifts, recording who to etc. We keep completed IHT403 forms which we update annually. We also have a monthly/annual spreadsheet of income/expenses which demonstrates our surplus and keep track of expenses with the MeMo transaction tracker (thanks for that). These are all in our 'WID' file (again thanks to you for that). What we're not sure about is any documentation that might be needed to evidence the figures. Income is straightforward with P60s, statements of interest/dividends. However, what is required for expenses? Can't really keep all supermarket receipts etc and even bank/credit card statements would be quite bulky over several years. Not sure if we're overthinking but don't want to leave a difficult task for our kids when we're gone. Thank you both again for all the good you are doing Simon 20:33 Question 4 Brian (in Australia) Thank you for all your podcasts and videos but I think I may have to sign up to the academy to fully get my head around all the UK rules. We are looking to move to the UK from Australia - we have no UK govt pension entitlements but are retired with personal Australian private superannuation account pensions. The pension income payments and withdrawals are all tax free in Australia but will the UK government apply a tax on these pension payments once we are UK residents?   Thanks again for all your useful information. Regards, Brian 22:55  Question 5 Hi Roger (and Pete), I had a question which is boiling my brain far more than it should and I was hoping you could include it in one of your Q&A episodes. I'm in the fortunate position of being caught by the £100k 'tax trap' due to being paid a bonus for the first time in a number of years. This particular first-world problem is being made all the worse because my daughter will start nursery next year so in addition to the 60% tax charge on my bonus, we would also lose the 30 free hours of childcare we currently have access to. I currently salary sacrifice roughly £5,000 of salary into my pension (which my employer matches) and this holds my income at £99,000. However there is no option for me to do any kind of 'bonus sacrifice'. My only choice is to receive the bonus payment net of tax & NI through PAYE and then make a payment into my personal pension (a Vanguard, low cost multi-asset fund, just like you taught us!). I think I'm right in saying my pension provider will claim back the basic rate tax automatically for me, and I can then claim back the other 20% via my tax return with HMRC paying this extra 20% back to me directly. So far so easy, but what I can't work out is just how much I have to pay in to my pension in order to take all of the bonus payment out of my taxable income. Presumably its not the net amount extra that gets paid into my bank account on the month my bonus is paid because this will also be net of NI, meaning I wouldn't have paid enough in to avoid the £100k trap. Assuming my bonus payment was £10,000 (I don't know the exact figure yet but its likely to be around this amount), could you talk through how to calculate the net payment I need to make into a personal pension to achieve the desired result? As a follow up to this, if HMRC send me a cheque (very 1990's) for say £2000 of refunded higher rate tax, do I need to pay this into my pension in the next tax year to avoid having it counted towards my taxable income in that financial year? Please keep up the great work that you both do, you've really helped me get my financial life in order after an extremely difficult period in my life. Thank you both! Jimmy 27:29  Question 6 Hi Pete and Rog, Firstly, a huge thank you for all the insight and support you continue to offer. The impact of the Meaningful Money Podcast is immense—I've personally benefited so much from your free content over the years. I'll keep this as brief as I can: My great aunt (now 84) has built a substantial portfolio over decades—about £2 million across ~60 individual company shares, with approx. £1.3 million in a GIA and the rest in S&S ISAs. She also holds £400k in fixed-term bonds, savings accounts, and premium bonds. Sadly, she was diagnosed last year with dementia and Alzheimer's and now resides in a care home. I am her Power of Attorney and want to act in her best interests—simplifying her affairs and ensuring tax efficiency, especially regarding her legacy. She has no spouse or children but wishes to leave money to nieces, nephews, and charities. Here's my working plan: - Offset gains in the GIA by selling loss-making investments (totalling £30k–£40k) alongside some of the profit making investments to reduce market exposure without incurring CGT costs.     - Liquidate all shares in her S&S ISAs and transfer funds into cash ISAs with decent interest rates - Leave most of the GIA portfolio untouched to benefit from the CGT uplift on death Am I broadly on the right track for tax efficiency and sensible financial planning? Should I seek formal advice to ensure I'm doing the best by her? Thanks again for all you do—it really matters. Best regards, Josh  

C dans l'air du 10 février 2026 - Le chômage remonte, l'Europe décrocheAlors que le chef de l'État visait le plein emploi au cours de ses campagnes présidentielles, le chômage atteint son plus haut niveau depuis plusieurs années. Selon les chiffres de l'Insee publiés ce mardi 10 février, le taux de chômage en France, hors Mayotte, a augmenté de 0,2 point au quatrième trimestre 2025 pour atteindre 7,9 %, son plus haut niveau depuis le troisième trimestre 2021. Le nombre de demandeurs d'emploi au sens du Bureau international du travail atteint ainsi 2,5 millions de personnes, en hausse de 56 000 par rapport au trimestre précédent.Depuis plusieurs mois, le nombre de défaillances d'entreprises est en hausse, et la CGT sonne la sonnette d'alarme sur la situation de l'industrie française. La Confédération générale du travail a publié ce mardi sa liste noire des plans sociaux. Elle compte ainsi, à ce jour, 483 plans de licenciement.Dans ce contexte, Emmanuel Macron a mis en garde ce matin contre les menaces américaines et chinoises. À quelques jours d'une réunion informelle des dirigeants européens à Bruxelles, jeudi, le président de la République appelle, dans un entretien au Monde et à plusieurs journaux européens, à instaurer une « préférence européenne » dans plusieurs secteurs, notamment les technologies vertes et le numérique, mais aussi la défense et la sécurité. Face aux investissements massifs de la Chine et des États-Unis, le sort industriel des Européens pourrait être scellé en « 3 à 5 ans », estime le chef de l'État, relançant l'idée d'un endettement commun européen.Face à la Chine, l'industrie française est en « danger de mort », a assuré de son côté Clément Beaune hier sur TF1. Le haut-commissaire à la Stratégie et au Plan, qui a présenté lundi les grandes lignes de son rapport intitulé « L'industrie européenne face au rouleau compresseur chinois », propose la mise en place d'un « bouclier commercial massif ».Alors, quel est l'état de l'industrie française ? L'Europe est-elle en train de décrocher ? Que peut faire l'UE face à la Chine et aux États-Unis ? Comment l'Empire du Milieu fait-il main basse sur l'industrie de la Hongrie ?

Sau đợt tăng lãi suất gần đây nhất, Chính phủ Liên bang đang phải đối mặt với áp lực mới từ các công đoàn và các nhà kinh tế, về việc cải cách chính sách giảm ‘thuế thu nhập từ vốn' - Capital Gain Tax hay CGT 50%, mà các nhà phê bình gọi là "chương trình trốn thuế" có lợi cho những người giàu nhất nước Úc. Trong khi Tổng trưởng Tài chính vẫn tập trung vào nguồn cung nhà ở, những người ủng hộ cải cách lập luận rằng việc thu hồi các ưu đãi này, có thể thu hồi 20 tỷ đô la doanh thu hàng năm và giảm bớt khủng hoảng chi phí sinh hoạt ,cho lực lượng lao động cả nước.

Dla jednych to fundament bezpieczeństwa finansowego, dla innych – symbol rażącej niesprawiedliwości. W Australii już ponad dwa miliony dwieście tysięcy osób posiada co najmniej jedną nieruchomość inwestycyjną, korzystając z przywilejów, o których zwykły pracownik może tylko pomarzyć. Podczas gdy stopy procentowe znów idą w górę, rząd staje przed dramatycznym pytaniem: czy dalej chronić 50-procentową ulgę podatkową dla właścicieli domów, czy odzyskać 20 miliardów dolarów, by ratować resztę społeczeństwa przed kryzysem kosztów życia? Sprawdzamy, dlaczego ulga CGT stała się najbardziej gorącym tematem w kraju, gdzie własny dom staje się luksusem dla wybranych.

Following the latest interest rate rise, the Federal Government is facing renewed pressure from unions and economists to reform the 50 per cent Capital Gains Tax ((CGT)) discount, which critics label a "tax avoidance scheme" favouring the wealthiest Australians. While the Treasurer maintains a focus on housing supply, proponents of the reform argue that winding back these concessions could reclaim $20 billion in annual revenue and ease the cost-of-living crisis for the nation's workforce. - حالیہ شرحِ سود میں اضافے کے بعد وفاقی حکومت پر یونینز اور ماہرینِ معاشیات کی جانب سے 50 فیصد کیپیٹل گینز ٹیکس ((CGT)) رعایت میں اصلاحات کے لیے دوبارہ دباؤ بڑھ گیا ہے، جسے ناقدین امیر ترین آسٹریلین شہریوں کے حق میں "ٹیکس بچانے کی اسکیم" قرار دیتے ہیں۔ اگرچہ خزانچی رہائشی فراہمی پر توجہ برقرار رکھتے ہیں، اصلاحات کے حامیوں کا کہنا ہے کہ ان مراعات میں کمی سے سالانہ 20 بلین ڈالر ریونیو حاصل ہو سکتا ہے اور ملک کے افرادی قوت کے لیے مہنگائی کے بحران میں کمی لائی جا سکتی ہے۔

¿Nuestra red ferroviaria es segura? ¿Falta inversión? ¿Qué papel ha jugado la liberalización del sector? ¿Se ha priorizado la red de alta velocidad frente a la convencional? ¿Es posible un tren más justo? Los accidentes mortales en Adamuz y Gelida han abierto el debate sobre el estado del sistema ferroviario español, las necesidades que afronta y quién debe asumir responsabilidades. Lo analizamos con con Alfonso Alba, director de Cordópolis, Mateu Oliver, ingeniero y vicepresidente del Colegio de Ingenieros Industriales; Carlos Gutiérrez, profesor de Economía Industrial en la Universidad Miguel Hernández. Y los trabajadores Diego Toribio, oficial de telecomunicaciones de Adif en Andalucía con más de 40 años de experiencia, y Elisabet Ramos, maquinista de Rodalies; ambos afiliados a CGT, uno de los sindicatos que secunda la huelga de febrero convocada por los maquinistas tras perder a dos compañeros. Y hablamos con Juan Mena, portavoz del Movimiento Tren Ruta de la Plata. Más información aquí: https://www.eldiario.es/132_c5691c Haz posible Carne Cruda: http://bit.ly/ProduceCC

In this episode of Inside Residential Property, host Liam Garman is joined by Patrick Casey, managing director of Rethink Wealth, and Andrew, a young and active investor, to unpack a practical financial playbook for Australians in their 20s to 40s looking to build wealth through residential property. Using Andrew's real investment journey as a case study, the episode explores how early action, smart asset selection, and strategic use of debt can accelerate portfolio growth, while also highlighting the financial trade-offs that often emerge as investors juggle serviceability, borrowing capacity, lifestyle goals, and tax considerations. Andrew shares how he entered the market in 2018, starting with a modest Queensland unit and later using equity and timing to progress through off-the-plan and renovation-led moves. The conversation then turns to one of the most common forks in the road for younger investors: principal place of residence versus rentvesting. Patrick and Liam unpack how each path can influence borrowing capacity and long-term flexibility, and why personal circumstances, including relationships, future family plans and lifestyle needs, should be considered alongside spreadsheet outcomes. The episode also tackles the longer-term question of when to shift from capital growth to cash flow, outlining the risks of transitioning too early (and sacrificing asset quality) or too late (and being asset-rich but cash-flow poor). Patrick shares a clear framework for thinking in "windows of opportunity" across life stages, and why building a team and having a plan matters more than chasing the next hotspot. What you'll learn in this episode: How investors in their 20s to 40s can build a strategy that supports long-term wealth creation. Why "action over perfection" often matters in the early accumulation phase. How serviceability and borrowing capacity shape what's possible – and when it can happen. The key differences between rentvesting versus owning your home (and how to decide). How capital gains tax (CGT) rules and transaction costs should influence buy, hold, or sell decisions. When it makes sense to transition from capital growth to cash flow – and the risks either way. Why property flipping and "hotspot hopping" can quietly destroy long-term returns. How to avoid analysis paralysis and focus on sustainable, high-quality asset decisions. This episode is essential listening for younger residential property investors who want clarity on the financial strategy behind portfolio growth – offering a practical, experience-led perspective on serviceability, tax, life-stage planning and how to keep making smart moves without getting stuck.
