Today's Tape
Almost every question about investing is really this question in disguise. A market sitting at a record high and a market 20% off one are the same asset with very different moods, and the difference changes what the historical odds have looked like from here. Stage 4 of the free course has the full table of what each of these starting points has meant over one to twenty years.
Withdrawn. This showed how far the S&P 500 sits below its record high. It came from a source whose licence does not permit us to republish it, so we took it down rather than publish a number we cannot show a right to publish. We would rather have a gap here than a figure we cannot stand behind. The rest of this page runs on public-domain government data and is unchanged.

The time under each card is when that price printed, in New York time — not when this page was built. Sources: FRED, U.S. Treasury. These figures are refreshed hourly through the trading week, so a stamp from the previous close means the market is shut, not that the page has stopped.
This tape is deliberately short. Every figure on it comes from a U.S. government source that publishes in the public domain, and we removed the ones that did not. The two Treasury yields come from the U.S. Treasury's own daily par yield curve, published the same afternoon rather than the next morning. The dollar figure is the Federal Reserve's broad dollar index — a trade-weighted basket the Fed publishes itself, not the ICE index quoted on financial television, which is a different basket at a different level. Oil is the EIA's West Texas Intermediate spot price. Both come through FRED, the St. Louis Fed's public database. Each range is computed from a full year of daily history, and each card carries the time its own figure was published.
Why there is no S&P 500, Dow or Nasdaq here. Index levels are licensed products — they belong to the companies that build the indexes, and publishing them requires written permission we have not asked for and do not hold. The same is true of the gold and copper futures prices and of the ICE dollar index. We would rather show you four numbers we can stand behind than eleven we cannot. If you want the headline indexes right now, your brokerage app has them. What this page is for is the material underneath them: rates, inflation, jobs, credit and housing — all of it public, all of it free, and most of it more useful for deciding anything than a number that changes every second.
Three things worth knowing before you read them. A yield moves in basis points, not percent, and it moves opposite to the price of the bond — a 10-year yield rising means existing bonds fell, and the gap between the 2-year and the 10-year is the yield curve everyone argues about. The dollar figure is the Fed's broad index against a basket of trading partners, indexed to January 2006 = 100, not the ICE dollar index quoted on television; they move together and they are not the same number. And nothing here is live. Each card carries its own source and its own date because these series publish on different schedules — yields land the next morning, the dollar index weekly, crude a few days behind. They are last published values, rewritten each build.
Scale
Every headline about the stock market is a headline about the second-biggest bar on this chart. Property is worth more than shares and bonds put together, and crypto — which gets more coverage than all of it — is the smallest thing here. None of this tells you what to buy. It tells you how big the rooms are before you walk into one.

Figures last reviewed 2026-08-16. These rows are not simultaneous and each one carries its own date: property and bonds are annual, share values are a mid-year reading, money funds are month end and crypto is quarter end. Each row's change covers the same year its value is dated to. Where a publisher prints the change itself we use theirs; where the figure is ours, the table above says so. Gold is the World Gold Council's tonnage multiplied by the World Bank's monthly average price — our own arithmetic, not a published total. Crypto data Powered by CoinGecko.
Since the last update
Most economic data is true for weeks at a time. This is the part that is not. Every figure is compared against the previous update, with both dates named — so you never have to guess how fresh a number is.
Comparing this update (2026-09-12) against the previous one (2026-09-11). Grouped by what the figure measures — a mortgage rate and a housing start are not the same kind of news.
Economic Analysis
Before any chart pattern or earnings report matters, these do. Inflation sets what your money is worth, the Fed funds rate sets what borrowing costs, and the gap between short and long bonds has front-run most modern recessions. Updated from the Federal Reserve's own data, with the source date on every figure.

The curve is normal — longer bonds pay more than shorter ones, which is what you would expect when investors are compensated for tying money up.

How to read this. One month is noise. The year-over-year column is the one worth watching, because it strips out seasonal swings. A single figure moving the "wrong" way means very little on its own — inflation, employment and rates move together, and the story is in the combination.

An estimate is not a target. The consensus figure is what analysts guessed, not a number the company promised. A business can "miss" an estimate it never agreed to while having a perfectly good quarter, and beating one tells you the analysts were low — not that the business improved. Read the actual report.

Look up any ticker
The first chart is what the stock did. The second is what it did relative to its own sector — which is the question that actually matters, because a stock up 8% in a sector up 12% is a laggard, not a winner.
One year of daily closes.
Both normalized to percentage change, so they are comparable.
A price chart answers "did this go up?" Relative strength answers "did this go up more than the things like it?" — and only the second question tells you whether you were right about the company rather than right about the sector. A bank up 9% in a year when financials rose 15% did not reward you for picking it. You would have done better owning the sector and thinking about it less.
This matters most when you are deciding whether to hold something. A stock that has fallen alongside its whole sector is usually facing an industry problem — rates, commodity prices, regulation — and the question is whether you still want exposure to that industry. A stock that has fallen while its sector rose is a company-specific problem, and that is a different question with a different answer. The two look identical on a price chart and obvious on a comparison chart.
The honest limits. Relative strength is descriptive, not predictive — leadership persists more often than chance for intermediate horizons, and reverses hard at turning points. Sector ETFs are also imperfect proxies: a company can be classified into a sector it barely resembles, and the largest holdings dominate the ETF's return, so a small company is being compared against its biggest competitors. Read it as context, not a verdict.

Today's Reminder
Time in the market beats timing the market.
Follow along
This page is the raw data. What we post is the part that needed a second look — the number worth knowing this week, the headline that says less than it appears to, and the occasional reminder that doing nothing is a position. No signals, no calls, no tips.
Nothing posted on any of these is investment advice, and none of it is worth acting on before you have read the thing it is describing. Everything on this page stays free and stays here whether you follow or not.
Common questions
Yes, entirely. No account, no email address, no trial. Economic figures come from FRED at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and market quotes from Finnhub, both of which allow this use. Charts and calendars are TradingView widgets. The site is funded by advertising and by four paid courses, none of which you need to buy to read anything here.
Economic analysis asks what the whole economy is doing — inflation, rates, employment, growth. Fundamental analysis asks what an individual business earns, owns and owes. Technical analysis asks what price and volume are doing right now. Behavioral analysis asks whether you will actually follow your own plan. Every number on this page is evidence for one of those four questions, and nobody uses all four equally.
Economic and market figures are written into the page each time the site is rebuilt, and every figure carries the date of its own underlying release. The 'what changed' block compares the current update against the previous one and names both dates. The news feed, the heatmaps and the economic calendar are TradingView widgets and update continuously, though quotes may be delayed.
Chart the stock against the exchange-traded fund that tracks its sector, with both normalized to percentage change rather than price, so two things trading at different absolute levels can be compared. The eleven S&P 500 sector ETFs are XLK for technology, XLF financials, XLV healthcare, XLE energy, XLI industrials, XLY consumer discretionary, XLP consumer staples, XLU utilities, XLRE real estate, XLB materials and XLC communication services. If the stock's line sits above the ETF's, it has outperformed its own sector over that period.
Relative strength compares one investment's return against a benchmark rather than looking at it alone. It matters because a price chart cannot tell you whether a gain came from the company or from everything in its industry rising together. A stock up 8% while its sector rose 12% underperformed, even though the chart is green. It also separates two situations that look identical on a price chart: a stock falling with its whole sector, which is an industry problem, and a stock falling while its sector rises, which is a company-specific one.
No, and treating it as a prerequisite is a common way to never start. Before any of this matters you need banking that works, high-interest debt under control and an emergency fund — that is the free Financial Literacy resource, and it comes first. This page is for after those are handled.
