- I'm not a trader or finance pro — is this for me?
- Yes. QuarterlyIQ is built for everyday investors. We explain everything in plain English, and any time we use a finance term we tell you what it means.
- How fresh is the data?
- Our pages update whenever the government publishes new economic numbers. So when a new jobs or inflation report comes out, you see it here right away.
- What does QuarterlyIQ cover today?
- Right now we cover the US economy: a weekly summary, seven dashboards (inflation, jobs, GDP, interest rates, and more), and how each one is affecting different industries.
- What does YoY mean? What about MoM?
- YoY means 'year over year' — compared to the same time last year. MoM means 'month over month' — compared to last month. We use both to show how much something has changed. You can hover over any short word like these on our pages for a quick definition.
- What's the 'yield curve'?
- The yield curve is the line showing interest rates for US government bonds at different lengths — three months, two years, ten years, and so on. When short-term rates are higher than long-term rates, that's called an 'inverted' yield curve, and it often comes before a recession.
- How do I read the cards on the Economy page?
- Each card shows the latest number for one part of the economy, how it's changed recently, what forecasters expect next, and a short explanation of what it means. Click any card to see the full page with charts and history.
- Who is QuarterlyIQ built for?
- People who manage their own investments and want clearer answers about the economy than free finance sites give — without paying Wall Street prices.
- Is the weekly Macro Pulse included?
- Yes. Subscribers get the weekly Macro Pulse summary along with all seven dashboards.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. You can cancel from your account whenever you want.
- Do I need a credit card to start?
- No. The free trial does not require a credit card, and you can cancel anytime.
- Should I treat this as investment advice?
- No. QuarterlyIQ is here to help you understand the economy and what it means for different industries. We're not telling you what to buy or sell — that's your decision.
