Take for example the Eurodollar futures strip hedge we previously considered, where we hedged a $1,000,000 loan by selling a strip of futures with successive delivery dates in March, June and September of the next year.
Say, while the March and June futures are sufficiently liquid to use, we don’t think the market is now offering adequate liquidity in the September contracts, but this market will be liquid enough later in March.
Our hope would be that the second $1,000,000 of the June Eurodollars futures that we sell now would move in price similar to a sold position in $1,000,000 of September Eurodollar futures if we were to sell it now.

After reading this little known press release a few weeks ago, I started to wonder… and the surprising result is that (except for the Eurodollars element of M3), the data is still available with which to reconstruct M3.
The formula used has over five nines (.9999946 – 1.0 being perfect) correlation to the original data back going back to 1980, and is taken directly from the Federal Reserve’s definition of M3.
There is only one missing element that is apparently no longer available (Eurodollars) and I've applied an adjustment to generate it.
