- 0:19Speaker 2: Booking a Trillions.
- 0:20Speaker 3: I'm Joel Weber and I'm Eric bel Chierna.
- 0:21Speaker 2: We're back with another special episode. We started doing these
- 0:25Speaker 2: more frequently. This time we're going to do ETFs to watch.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Joining us again Isabelle, who's a cross asset reporter with
- 0:32Speaker 2: Bloomberg News. What is the big hit?
- 0:35Speaker 4: The big hit so of May launches. By the way,
- 0:37Speaker 4: it's been one hundred and four launches. That's a lot,
- 0:40Speaker 4: probably heading to about one twenty. That's about five or
- 0:42Speaker 4: six a day.
- 0:44Speaker 2: So are we going to break the record this year?
- 0:46Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, probably about thirteen.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Hundred's going to prediction market style bet right there.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, we're going to break triple crown. Two're going
- 0:53Speaker 5: to break.
- 0:54Speaker 4: The flow record because they're at seven to fifty billion
- 0:56Speaker 4: now that's halfway to the record last year.
- 0:58Speaker 3: And it's still May.
- 0:59Speaker 4: So yeah, probably another triple crown. But the flow record,
- 1:04Speaker 4: by the way, is why the launch record will be broken.
- 1:07Speaker 4: The fish are biting and so there's just more puel
- 1:09Speaker 4: thrown lines in the water anyway, the number one by assets,
- 1:12Speaker 4: So the big launch we're basically quantitative. We're determining this
- 1:16Speaker 4: by the new launch this month with the most assets
- 1:19Speaker 4: is a shocker. It's the Defiance Daily Target two x
- 1:23Speaker 4: long Poet ETF Poet. Yeah, Poet like Longfellow that doesn't
- 1:28Speaker 4: go long Poets that wouldn't make much money because there's
- 1:32Speaker 4: not a lot of industry. You know that that industry
- 1:34Speaker 4: is roughed up.
- 1:35Speaker 6: This is a shocker. A ticker is po e L.
- 1:37Speaker 6: I guess Poet is taken. Why wouldn't you just do
- 1:40Speaker 6: pot Maybe?
- 1:41Speaker 4: No, No, the company is Poet, it's Poet Technology.
- 1:44Speaker 5: So but the ticker of the ETF is po e L.
- 1:47Speaker 4: As what I'm saying, they have to pick something different.
- 1:49Speaker 6: I know, I know that's I didn't know the ticker
- 1:51Speaker 6: of the company. Yeah, anyway, I don't know if I
- 1:53Speaker 6: should be admitting this, but I actually I didn't know
- 1:55Speaker 6: much about Poet Technologies other than the fact that it's
- 1:58Speaker 6: a semiconductor opto electronics.
- 2:01Speaker 2: That would explain why the launch went so well.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Yeah, this ETF is at the time I'm telling you,
- 2:07Speaker 4: this is fifteen days old, it's up two hundred and
- 2:10Speaker 4: sixty one percent. That's wild, and it's taken in a
- 2:14Speaker 4: ton of money. So that means that this thing was
- 2:16Speaker 4: put on the market, and these Degen traders just were
- 2:20Speaker 4: on it quickly. Like used to be, you'd have to
- 2:22Speaker 4: really have a good return for a couple months if
- 2:25Speaker 4: you were like a real niche hot sauce product. But
- 2:28Speaker 4: I think that the traders are now onto this and they're.
- 2:30Speaker 2: Like two x right now, like give it to me.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but it's not two x Navideo or Tesla.
- 2:35Speaker 4: It's two x a company that I'd never even heard of. Yeah, So,
- 2:37Speaker 4: like there's a whole ecosystem here of like people who
- 2:40Speaker 4: are really looking for these like quantum semi kind of
- 2:45Speaker 4: stocks to get two x.
- 2:46Speaker 2: What does it hold?
- 2:47Speaker 3: It holds swaps.
- 2:50Speaker 4: And it just gives you the return of the poet
- 2:53Speaker 4: stock two times every day. Okay, so that's it. No, listen, listen,
- 3:01Speaker 4: this is why two x dock ETF so the greatest
- 3:03Speaker 4: idea ever mentioned. Somebody's like, why do we need two
- 3:07Speaker 4: x dock ets. It's like, well, look, you like Navidia.
- 3:10Speaker 4: You're like, yeah, how about two x Davidia even better?
- 3:15Speaker 2: But I mean, isn't this like a perverse you know,
- 3:19Speaker 2: kind of bloating of what an ETF is supposed to be? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
- 3:23Speaker 2: this is yes.
- 3:24Speaker 4: And look, the ETF is a big tent. This is
- 3:28Speaker 4: the more fringe, maybe less respected area. To be honest
- 3:33Speaker 4: with you, because a lot of the original ETF people
- 3:36Speaker 4: are like, hey, this stuff is actually not good for people.
- 3:39Speaker 4: It encourages gambling. You could walk into you don't have
- 3:42Speaker 4: to go to Atlantic City anymore. I think they have
- 3:44Speaker 4: casinos in New York. Now I could take all my money,
- 3:47Speaker 4: my life savings, all, you know, thirteen dollars of it,
- 3:50Speaker 4: and I could go into a casino and put it
- 3:52Speaker 4: all on red or black and lose one hundred percent
- 3:54Speaker 4: in a second.
- 3:55Speaker 3: So like, this isn't that bad?
- 3:57Speaker 5: Okay people?
- 3:58Speaker 6: That is true. We've read about the average in verse
- 4:00Speaker 6: ETFs all the time, and the issuers their argument is
- 4:03Speaker 6: there's a market, that's why we're launching it. But then,
- 4:05Speaker 6: of course on the other side, you're like, but do
- 4:08Speaker 6: the investors really know what it's about.
- 4:11Speaker 5: You're supposed to hold.
- 4:12Speaker 6: It just for one day, but we have a lot
- 4:14Speaker 6: of data and reporting that chose to average is like
- 4:16Speaker 6: eight days. I think that came from city. So it
- 4:19Speaker 6: raises a question of are these actually helpful? And I
- 4:21Speaker 6: think poet maybe became popular. I just researched before this
- 4:25Speaker 6: because everyone is trying to look for the next Nvidia,
- 4:28Speaker 6: and that's what they're saying.
- 4:29Speaker 5: It's really a small cap company.
- 4:30Speaker 2: But I also get there twice as fast.
- 4:32Speaker 6: But the these things, it's timing right, like if it launched.
- 4:36Speaker 6: Maybe I don't know, I'm making it up, but last.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Year maybe Tesla dominate this market because they are just
- 4:41Speaker 4: so popular. But they're the amount of instant success that
- 4:46Speaker 4: I've seen, especially from some of the quantum ones that
- 4:49Speaker 4: were launched, like QB I want to say, Cubert, it's
- 4:51Speaker 4: something like that. Look they come out for stocks I
- 4:57Speaker 4: never heard of.
- 4:58Speaker 2: That's how you know.
- 4:59Speaker 4: I look around, They've got like a billion dollars. I'm like,
- 5:01Speaker 4: how anyway getting in early to a semi or quantum stock.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Though the jumps can be major, one of them returned
- 5:08Speaker 4: almost one hundred percent in a day.
- 5:11Speaker 6: I mean, why not. My retirement is fifteen dollars, so
- 5:13Speaker 6: I beat you. It'll be thirty dollars.
- 5:15Speaker 4: By the way, just real quick on this. Do you
- 5:17Speaker 4: remember that there was an IPO a couple days ago
- 5:20Speaker 4: in the middle.
- 5:20Speaker 6: Of May Cerebras, Yes, yes, okay, fantastic segue.
- 5:24Speaker 5: I must say, Well, this.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Is related to this one.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Somebody filed for a two X cerebras like four months ago,
- 5:32Speaker 4: knowing that it's a private company that would IPO. IPO
- 5:35Speaker 4: comes out, dtf's like, all right, pull the trigger. The
- 5:38Speaker 4: two X launches the next day. So that's a twenty
- 5:41Speaker 4: four hours between the IPO and the two X ETF
- 5:44Speaker 4: tracking it.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Wow, I've never seen that.
- 5:46Speaker 5: That must be a record.
- 5:47Speaker 6: What you've seen a lot is filings after the IPO
- 5:49Speaker 6: not launches.
- 5:50Speaker 3: No, No, the filings are all coming in for privates.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Now there's already two X spaces Actually there's two X
- 5:55Speaker 4: open AI. So I think the SpaceX is so big
- 5:58Speaker 4: and these sauce issuers are so competitive that they're going
- 6:02Speaker 4: to launch the two X version the day of the
- 6:05Speaker 4: SpaceX IPO.
- 6:07Speaker 5: That's a great prediction.
- 6:09Speaker 4: Yeah, that because whoever gets out first and gets all
- 6:13Speaker 4: the liquidity for the two X SpaceX can just retire.
- 6:16Speaker 4: That is like a near lock to become a multimillionaire
- 6:18Speaker 4: as initier.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Well, we're weeks away from potential IPF, so.
- 6:23Speaker 4: That's fun watch that race, I guess.
- 6:25Speaker 1: So.
- 6:25Speaker 6: Although I went on Reddit, which I do time to
- 6:29Speaker 6: dad for reporting a lot of people had not so
- 6:31Speaker 6: positive things to say about the SpaceX IPO. But I
- 6:34Speaker 6: guess just like anything, you know, you have haters and lovers, you.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Know, read it or they anybody who says anything that's
- 6:40Speaker 4: out of the lot, the you know, the narrative gets
- 6:43Speaker 4: kicked off. But Tesla two X is five billion and
- 6:47Speaker 4: it charges ninety five basis points. That's fifty million a
- 6:50Speaker 4: year in profit for that person. That was our big hit,
- 6:52Speaker 4: believe or not. That was all one ETF.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Okay, that was Poel. There were one hundred and thirty
- 6:57Speaker 2: nine others to choose from. Uh, it's another one. We're
- 7:00Speaker 2: gonna put this spotlight on.
- 7:01Speaker 6: I think Corgi as a company, although we're talking, if
- 7:05Speaker 6: we want to narrow it down, Corgi lithography and semi
- 7:08Speaker 6: photonics ETF.
- 7:09Speaker 5: Is that how we say it, photonics.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Photonics, platonic V.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Yes, that's the taker. So it's part of a thirty
- 7:15Speaker 6: four the ETF launch.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Corgi launched that many ETFs thirty four.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Honestly the record it shocked.
- 7:21Speaker 5: I had to talk to the to the team. I didn't.
- 7:24Speaker 5: I didn't.
- 7:25Speaker 4: We didn't end up publishing to do that, or was
- 7:27Speaker 4: it like, yeah, We had the guy on ETF you
- 7:29Speaker 4: it's a young guy from San Francisco, a lot of
- 7:31Speaker 4: VC money.
- 7:31Speaker 3: He does other things.
- 7:32Speaker 4: He's in the insurance business, wants to be like cool,
- 7:35Speaker 4: like kind of new insurance companies like, well, if you're
- 7:37Speaker 4: in financial services ETFs or something you should have for people.
- 7:40Speaker 4: And they research with deduced. They launched a bunch of
- 7:42Speaker 4: thematic and buffer ETFs at low costs. But they've blanketed
- 7:46Speaker 4: the market way more than a new issue. A new
- 7:48Speaker 4: issue usually puts a toe in the water with a
- 7:50Speaker 4: couple launches. See if they're a hit, they've already launched
- 7:52Speaker 4: like I think about forty five fifty ETFs and they've
- 7:55Speaker 4: got like another two fifty filed.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Exactly and flooding the zone.
- 7:58Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, that's what because I track and our team
- 8:01Speaker 6: all the launches and filings, and we were like, what
- 8:03Speaker 6: is this new etf issuer? And then they're filing like
- 8:06Speaker 6: crazy and they're launching like crazy. And you would think
- 8:08Speaker 6: if you're a buzzy new upstart, you would start with
- 8:10Speaker 6: humanoid or AI or something sexy, but then it's buffer.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Well, well they started with buffer and then they did
- 8:17Speaker 4: all the themes and like I would say lithography and
- 8:19Speaker 4: photonics is pretty I'd say so it's it sounds techy
- 8:25Speaker 4: and I can't define.
- 8:26Speaker 5: It and pronounce.
- 8:27Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.
- 8:28Speaker 6: Yeah, and their fees are competitive.
- 8:31Speaker 4: To thirty five BIPs for themes as low honestly. There
- 8:34Speaker 4: they also had the US War Machine ETF, which I
- 8:37Speaker 4: was a little cynical. And they had a New York
- 8:40Speaker 4: ETF which is only stocks based in New York City,
- 8:43Speaker 4: which Ethan wants to buy to hedge his increasing rent
- 8:46Speaker 4: that he has in Dumbo or Brooklyn rent.
- 8:48Speaker 6: There also, we no Athon owns. Why are we talking
- 8:51Speaker 6: about him? Well, anyway, anyway, Athan, Hello, good morning.
- 8:58Speaker 4: He would just be like whenever all these ets launch,
- 9:01Speaker 4: he's kind of getting to be like a.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Crimungeny old guy.
- 9:06Speaker 4: The scene from No Country from Old One when Tommy
- 9:09Speaker 4: the Johns looks down over the newspaper. Hm, that's eighth
- 9:11Speaker 4: and every time launches.
- 9:12Speaker 5: So, believe it or not, I got your reference. I
- 9:15Speaker 5: got your reference.
- 9:16Speaker 3: That's amazing, amazing. I appreciate that.
- 9:18Speaker 4: By the way, the lithography you have has eighty nine
- 9:21Speaker 4: million already, that's pretty legit.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Well, it's a very very small space, not that many companies.
- 9:27Speaker 2: So and look in the middle of the chip making
- 9:29Speaker 2: stuff like you can get probably pretty specific here. Okay,
- 9:33Speaker 2: so why is it called Corgy? Is the is the
- 9:36Speaker 2: mask on a dog?
- 9:37Speaker 3: Yes?
- 9:37Speaker 6: Yes, and my dream dog is Corgy.
- 9:40Speaker 2: So they did this for you maybe like like cor
- 9:43Speaker 2: that's pretty likable.
- 9:44Speaker 3: I can't lie.
- 9:45Speaker 4: And the guy has a cafe in Sanrancisco, San Francisco,
- 9:48Speaker 4: that's the only twenty four to seven three sixty five cafe,
- 9:52Speaker 4: and he's got Corgi's like painted on the wall on
- 9:54Speaker 4: the street and stuff.
- 9:55Speaker 6: And I think every line of their business is named
- 9:58Speaker 6: after a dog.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Breathe, Yeah, okay, there's a a beagle.
- 10:00Speaker 4: They have different dogs anyway to hear more about them?
- 10:05Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Mean they have a lot of products. Let talking about them. Okay,
- 10:10Speaker 2: uh keep.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Okay, So that was the wildcard.
- 10:12Speaker 2: That was wild card. We have big hit wild card.
- 10:14Speaker 2: What's uh? What's our good luck with that? Okay?
- 10:17Speaker 4: This is one where I'm like, wait a second, they
- 10:19Speaker 4: launched this ready for this.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Name, I'm going to leave it to.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Ticker is Nico, which again and I c o Yeah,
- 10:26Speaker 4: ticker like the female singer who helped.
- 10:29Speaker 3: Out led Underground. Yeah what I thought, I know, I.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Definite know that, but you should build it underground. Highly
- 10:36Speaker 4: influential band anyway. Sure, hexas Active Nicotine Engagement ETF Nicotine Engagement.
- 10:45Speaker 2: So I'm on a vaping ETF cigarettes.
- 10:48Speaker 5: And vaping cigarette is one.
- 10:50Speaker 4: I'm on a text chain with my college friends. We
- 10:52Speaker 4: all lived in a big house, like real world style,
- 10:54Speaker 4: and we've just been friends ever since. So every now
- 10:57Speaker 4: and then someone like starts something off in the text chain,
- 10:59Speaker 4: it goes dorm for a while.
- 11:00Speaker 3: But this one woman in there.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Who's a good friend of mine, she says, guys, cigarettes
- 11:06Speaker 4: are coming back, you know, really yeah.
- 11:09Speaker 6: And among the old people or among youngsters. I looked
- 11:13Speaker 6: at you while I said old people, let's say old people.
- 11:15Speaker 2: I think there is this thing. It's the people who
- 11:18Speaker 2: inhabited this real world house with Eric.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I don't know how much they're coming back, but if
- 11:22Speaker 4: I heard it in my text chain with my college friends,
- 11:25Speaker 4: that's one thing. The other thing is if you look
- 11:27Speaker 4: back to these stocks, like these nicotine stocks, they crush.
- 11:31Speaker 3: I mean, they are really.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Good performing stocks, so I get why they launched it,
- 11:35Speaker 4: but this is so niche that I just think it's
- 11:38Speaker 4: almost too outfringe and I would say, good luck with that.
- 11:42Speaker 4: It's seventy basis points, it's active, and Hexus isn't a
- 11:45Speaker 4: big name. This will definitely have to swim swim upstream
- 11:50Speaker 4: for assets or just have a great shiny object moment
- 11:53Speaker 4: where it just like doubles the SMP.
- 11:54Speaker 2: But you're kind of giving it a gold star just
- 11:56Speaker 2: by saying, like, hey, intriguing.
- 11:57Speaker 3: It's intriguing, but yeah, I mean it's gonna be hard. Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 3: I remember they launched the.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Whiskey ETF will back and that came and went in
- 12:04Speaker 4: six months, and this seems similar.
- 12:08Speaker 6: You can revive your dormant chat and say, hey, have
- 12:11Speaker 6: you heard of this ETF?
- 12:15Speaker 4: ETFs aren't big in chats with regular people.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta, it's the chat for the podcast.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Yeah you're not. Didn't your husband say when you told
- 12:26Speaker 4: about this article? Or he's like, nobody cares.
- 12:30Speaker 5: That's true love.
- 12:30Speaker 6: I guess maybe we had a long marriage, like you.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Both, Isabelle. Nobody cares, like, just relax.
- 12:37Speaker 6: Because they always say we're writing about this ETF And he's.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Like, yeah, and look, four people in the northeast care
- 12:45Speaker 4: about this.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Three people sitting on the table.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Anyway, we have an addition, we haven't done an honorable
- 12:52Speaker 2: mention before, but we're gonna We're gonna try it.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Yeah, because this doesn't really fit in any of the
- 12:56Speaker 4: other ones, but I thought it's notable. Round Hill Halo ETF.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Brownhill crushed it in April with the biggest launch ever,
- 13:04Speaker 4: d RAM, which is now ten billion dollars, biggest launch
- 13:07Speaker 4: ever overall, let alone themes at least the ten billion.
- 13:11Speaker 4: It's got there faster than I bit, Well, what are
- 13:13Speaker 4: they going to follow that up with? This is like
- 13:14Speaker 4: when you hit a big album, what's the next album
- 13:16Speaker 4: going to be?
- 13:17Speaker 3: This one is.
- 13:18Speaker 4: The HALO, which is heavy assets, low obsolescence. That's a
- 13:22Speaker 4: term Josh Brown came up with from CNBC. What it
- 13:24Speaker 4: basically means, it's like real stuff, like physical infrastructure, things
- 13:30Speaker 4: that are more AI proof because you, you know, we
- 13:33Speaker 4: all need to have ye.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:34Speaker 4: So like here's some of the subsectors transportation, oil and gas,
- 13:38Speaker 4: electrical equipment, metals and mining chemicals, machinery.
- 13:41Speaker 2: It's sort of like the stuff the world actually runs on, yes.
- 13:45Speaker 5: And interplaceable by AIS.
- 13:47Speaker 4: And the ticker the ticker is l O H yes
- 13:50Speaker 4: because HALO is already ticker for some other stock, but
- 13:53Speaker 4: Loja is the ticker and it's interesting to me because
- 13:56Speaker 4: d ram is the like kind of the ultimate AI play,
- 13:59Speaker 4: and here's one for people were like, oh, I'm so
- 14:00Speaker 4: tired of this AI stuff.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I want reality.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Because Ethan sometimes is like he gets mad at the whole,
- 14:07Speaker 4: like everybody get getting freaked out about tech and stuff.
- 14:09Speaker 4: He's like, you know, sometimes you need garbage.
- 14:12Speaker 3: You need your garbage picked up, and you need to sue. Yeah,
- 14:15Speaker 3: so we were saying they should come over with the ETF.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Called He really is turned into an old man. I know.
- 14:20Speaker 3: He loves when he loves it.
- 14:21Speaker 4: When waste Management is the best performing stock of the day,
- 14:24Speaker 4: he's like, yeah, we're back. Like I told you, you
- 14:27Speaker 4: need your garbage picked up, no matter how you AI
- 14:30Speaker 4: stock is.
- 14:31Speaker 3: But we always thought.
- 14:32Speaker 4: There should be an ETF called ship you need and
- 14:35Speaker 4: this is kind of that.
- 14:36Speaker 6: Okay, yeah that is true though, which is why I
- 14:40Speaker 6: always try to bake once in a while, because that
- 14:42Speaker 6: is not AI replaceable.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Baking using an oven. Although yes, what about the humanoid robot?
- 14:48Speaker 2: But do that maybe, but.
- 14:49Speaker 6: Maybe only higher income households, those with real houses, can
- 14:53Speaker 6: afford those robots.
- 14:54Speaker 5: People in crappy apartments like me cannot.
- 14:58Speaker 2: All right, is belly? Than for joining us on Trillions
