About Follow The Money
Follow The Money explains the biggest money stories in minutes: what happened, who got paid, and what it means for your savings, your index fund and your 401(k).
What we do
Every day we follow the money behind the headlines: earnings, market moves, the AI spending boom, Washington and the Fed. Each story opens with the facts in thirty seconds, shows the numbers behind it, and ends with what it could mean for an ordinary portfolio.
How we work
Follow The Money is published by Follow The Money Media LLC. We use automated tools to gather source material and draft our news stories, and an automated check that compares every number in a story with its sources and market data. Follow The Money Media LLC is accountable for everything published here, automated or not.
- Every number is sourced. Figures come from filings, official releases, market data and named news organizations. The math behind our own calculations is shown under each story.
- Allegations are labelled as allegations. Reported claims that have not been proven are described as reported, alleged or unconfirmed, and attributed to the outlet that reported them.
- Commentary is labelled. Our views live in a separate section and always include the strongest case against them.
- Nothing here is investment advice. We explain; we do not tell you what to buy or sell.
Videos
Our short films on YouTube cover the same stories in five minutes or so. You can watch them on the videos page.
