00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Trillions, a podcast about the exchange traded fund

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: which you probably know as the e t F. My

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 1: name is Joel Wober and I'm Eric Alstis. I'm the

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: editor of Bloomberg Markets magazine, and I'm an analyst with

Speaker 1: e t what come on, Joel, You know what an

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: e t F is? An exchange traded fund. That's true.

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I know a little bit, but I don't know as

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: much as you. Yeah, I basically spend every waking minute, thinking, writing,

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: reading about e t f s. But the problem even

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: for me is it's really easy to over complicate this stuff.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep things simple and at the same

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: time we'll be able to give people who already use

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: ETFs a few nuggets too. It will be a little

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: bit like a Pixar movie. Kids get something, Mom and

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Dad get something. Yeah, we want you to have a

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: lot of useful information about e t f s, like

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: how they work, how to pick them, how they can

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: help you as an investor, and what to be wary of.

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: And what makes this podcast unique is that We're going

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: to try and make this topic that feels really daunting

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: to the average investor a little bit more accessible. Yeah,

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: this show will be something that a financial advisor might

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: benefit from, but in a language that my mom can understand.

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: The bottom line is that for many people, E t

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: f s are like another planet, and Joel and I

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,399

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of metaphors of humor, and probably way too many
