Welcome back into the show. This is the Canadian Investor Podcast, made possible by our friends and show sponsor, EQ Bank, which helps Canadians make bank with high interest and no fees on everyday banking. We also love their savings and investment products like GICs, which offer some of the best rates on the market. I personally, and I know Simone as well, is using the GICs, which offer some of the best rates on the market. I personally, and I know Simone as well, is using the GICs on a regular basis to set money aside for personal income taxes in April of every year. Their GICs are perfect because the interest rate is guaranteed, and I know I won't be able to touch that money until I need it for tax time. Whether you're looking to set some money aside for a rainy day or a big purchase is

coming through the pipeline or simply want to lower the risk of your overall investment portfolio, EQ Bank's GICs are a great option. The best thing about EQ Bank is that it is so easy to use. You can open an account and buy a GIC online in minutes. Take advantage of some of the best rates on the market today at eqbank.ca forward slash GIC. Again, eqbank.ca forward slash GIC. Listeners of the Canadian Investor Pod, I'm Brayden Dennis, and this is a special announcement. Drum roll, please. Introducing the Canadian Investor Pod Index. The instructions are very simple on how you get involved in this new thing we're doing as a community that we will be tracking the performance of the Canadian Investor Pod Index. Here's what you're going to do.

You're going to go to that URL I always talk about, getstockmarket.com. That is G-E-T stockmarket.com. There is a form at the bottom. You are going to put in the ticker and a thesis, no more than two paragraphs. I don't want to read eight pages long, of your favorite stock. The only rule is that it needs to be trading on a North American exchange. So it can be a Canadian or US stock. This is one company that you plan on holding for the foreseeable future. Give me why you like it, what the growth prospects are like, why you like the valuation. Give me it all. Boom, right there at GetSmartStockMarket.com. One company. Deadline is June 5th. And if it's June 6th and you're listening to this and thinking,

oh, I missed it. That's okay. It's not a hard, hard deadline. But to make sure that you are in the index, give me your top pick by June 5th in that form. Simon and I are going to go through them. Make sure it's nothing too ridiculous. But unbiasedly, we will put together this index and we're going to track how it performs on a weekly, monthly basis.

It should be really, really fun. See what the community is investing in. See how we'll perform this little fake fund. We're going to back test it as well. See how it's performed in the past, even though it doesn't really matter. All right, guys. So very, very clear instructions.

Give me one stock in that form at getstockmarket.com by June 5th. We will release. We are aiming for 15 to 20 holdings. Probably cap it off at there or else we'll just be mimicking the real index. All right, guys. Boom. Give me your picks. June 5th, the Canadian Investor Pod Index. Let's go.
