If that's static, it is static that the Federal Reserve considers worth publishing. I believe that I made clear that I do consider your chart very good and very much worth studying. As I said or implied, your chart helps to explain how the equity bubble could continue growing even as the supply of credit had already begun to decelerate. Your chart is, as you contend, more reliable and a better indicator of longer-term movements than what the Fed supplied, and is an improvement on their own charts. I hope that to say that you are a better chartist than the Fed is a compliment.

An on line graph which shows the precipitous drop in M3 growth. ****http://bos.business.uab.edu/chartdisp/g2070790350230135912.gif While this chart uses period to period changes at annual rates (using the percentage change from same period last year does smooth out the chart),still curious short term behavior by the FED in a world deflationary environment. Appears to be one of the sharpest short term declines in the last 20 years. This can be viewed by choosing "1978" as starting year in the directions below. ****Note: This URL changes often. If nothing comes up use: First go to: bos.business.uab.edu Then click on "US Monetary Data", then scroll down to "M3 Money Stock; SA" (and click). On this page scroll down to "starting year" and change to 1996, then scroll down further on that page to "Transformation on Right Scale" and choose "period-to period percentage change at annual rates". Then scroll down a little further and click on "make chart".
