Hello, it's Joe from All right. Odd Lots, and I just wanted to tell you about a new podcast from Bloomberg. It's called Trillions, and it's all about the ETF industry. And of course, if you listen to Odd Lots, you've heard me and Tracy talk about ETFs a lot of times, the role they're having in the market, the anxiety they're causing, how they're changing everything, how much money is flowing into them. And we really

thought it deserved its own podcast. So you should really check it out. It's called Trillions. It's hosted by Eric Bailchunis, he's been on odd lots before, knows more about them than basically anyone else, alongside Bloomberg Markets Magazine editor, Joel Weber. Together, they're going to be exploring their industry, how they're changing the world, all kinds of fascinating stuff. So check it out Trillions, the new podcast from Bloomberg. And here's a trailer for the show. Welcome to Trillions, a podcast about the exchange traded fund, which you probably know as the ETS. My name is Joel Weber.

And I'm Eric Balshunez. I'm the editor of Bloomberg Markets Magazine. And I'm an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, and we're starting a podcast about ETFs and how they become such a powerful investing tool. Wait, ET what? Come on, Joel. You know what an ETF is? An exchange traded fund?

That's true. I know a little bit. But I don't know as much as you. Yeah, I basically spend every waking minute thinking, writing, reading about ETFs. But the problem, even for me, is it's really easy to overcome. complicate this stuff. So we're going to keep things simple. And at the same time, we'll be able to give people who already use ETFs a few nuggets to. It'll be a little bit like a Pixar movie. Kids get something. Mom and dad get something. Yeah, we want you to have a lot of useful

information about ETFs, like how they work, how to pick them, how they can help you as an investor, and what to be wary of. And what makes this podcast unique is that we're going to try and make this topic that feels really daunting to the average investor a little bit more accessible. Yeah, this show will be something that a financial advisor might benefit from, but in a language that my mom can understand. The bottom line is that for many people, ETFs are like another planet. And Joel and I are going to be like your intergalactic tour guides. And to make this topic fun, we're going to use a little bit of everything under disposal. Some really great guess. A lot of metaphors. A bit of humor. And probably way too many 80s

references. Maybe some from the 90s as well. And 2000s, but not many. I'm also going to try and eat something on every show. Why? Because that's sort of like what ETFs are doing in finance, eating everything. So look out for our first episode of this great new ETF podcast on November 30th. The news doesn't stop on the weekends.
