Maybe a way of explaining what I mean is to give an example. For example, a money market account included in M3 is invested in short-term government and corporate bonds. Those bonds are held by someone before someone decides to say sell some stocks and buy shares in a money market fund. So if they are in a money market fund they are included in that measure of the money supply and if they are held as individual bonds they are not. This has nothing to do with the Federal Reserve printing money or not. Shifts in savings accounts are also not driven by what the Fed is doing per se.
