What would you like to understand?
Ask about money supply, fund flows, an institution or a market event. Include a period if one matters. Every answer links to the records it used and explains material gaps.

Find financial data
Search institutions, economic indicators, funds and market questions. Open a record, browse its reporting periods, or hand it to the researcher.
Data sources
See what each provider covers and which records you can open. Collection dates tell you when CalyxCash saved data; observation dates tell you when the economic activity happened.
Polymarket and Kalshi have separate research archives. These contain retrospective episodes, not current executable quotes.
Same game, different counterparties
Sports markets
Compare what sportsbooks, Kalshi and Polymarket each imply for the same game, at the same moment, and check how the game settled. A sportsbook manages its own liability; a market price is a traded quote.

Money in motion
Liquidity & flows
Follow the amount of money outstanding, flows into funds, and changes in market value. Compare the level, its growth, and whether that growth is speeding up or slowing down.
How do two indicators move together?
Compare the indicator above with another monthly or quarterly series. Correlation describes a pattern; it does not establish money transfers, investor identity or a cause.

40 questions for understanding money
Choose a question to prepare an investigation. Each one lists the measurements needed and the limits to check. Answers depend on the data actually retained; these questions do not promise profits.
A short guide to the financial measures
- Money supply: M1, M2 and M3
- Different measures of money, with definitions that depend on the country and period. Broader measures include narrower ones, so adding them would double count. U.S. M3 is discontinued; euro area M3 covers a different economy.
- Amount outstanding versus flow
- A balance or holding describes an amount at a point in time. A flow describes activity during a period. A change in holdings or market capitalization can reflect valuation and does not, on its own, measure cash entering an asset.
- Growth versus acceleration
- Growth measures a change relative to the starting level. Acceleration describes how the rate of change itself changes. A growing series can still be slowing down.
- Percentage points
- A growth rate rising from 2% to 3% increases by 1 percentage point. This is different from a 1% increase in the growth rate.
- Seasonally adjusted
- The publisher has adjusted for recurring seasonal patterns. Keep adjusted and unadjusted observations separate when comparing changes.
- ETF net issuance
- Shares created minus shares redeemed, expressed in the source’s units. ICI monthly actual data include reinvested dividends; weekly estimates are a separate measure.
- Observation, publication and collection dates
- The period the data describe, when the publisher released them, and when CalyxCash saved them are different dates. A recent download can contain old observations or revised history.
- Correlation and timing offsets
- Correlation describes how two measures vary together in a shared sample. Moving one series earlier or later tests timing patterns; it does not prove causation or forecasting ability.

Collection health
See the saved reports from data collection. These reports do not, by themselves, prove a collector is running or that every economic observation is current. Check a source’s observation dates before using it.
