About Stickman: finance

Stickman: finance is a YouTube channel that explains money, markets, and the economy in short stick-figure videos. This section is the channel's companion archive on Data Today: every episode gets a page with the video, the key takeaways, and the full research notes the script was written from.

The companion pages exist because a short video cannot show its sources on screen. Here, every number used in the episode is listed with a link to where it came from: central bank statistics, company filings, index data, and official reports. If a video says a company lost a trillion dollars in market value, the page shows the date range and the data behind that figure.

The videos and their pages take positions. They are explainers in the Opinion Desk, and they are labelled that way. They are general education about how financial systems work, not investment advice, and nothing here tells you what to buy or sell. Our terms of use say the same.

What you will find here:

• The embedded video for each episode.
• The research report behind it, with every source linked.
• The key takeaways, so you can check a claim without rewatching the video.

Each companion page is reviewed by the responsible editor before publication. If you spot a number that does not match its source, write to the corrections address on the contact page and the fix will be logged publicly. The filters above group episodes by topic.
