[[INTRODUCTION]]
The intersection of consumer behavior and stock market dynamics has long intrigued researchers, investors, and anyone with a penchant for peering into the peculiarities of market trends. In this zany and zesty study, we set out to explore the curious connection between annual US household spending on nonalcoholic beverages and the stock price of DexCom (DXCM). We embarked on this bizarre and bodacious adventure with an ardent desire to infuse some levity and lightheartedness into the often stern and stoic world of economic analysis.
The impetus for this peculiar inquiry stemmed from the observation that in the landscape of consumer spending, nonalcoholic beverages occupy a peculiar and prominent place. From the effervescent allure of carbonated concoctions to the artful sophistication of designer coffees, the array of nonalcoholic libations available to the American consumer is nothing short of staggering. Yet, amidst this shimmering sea of sippable selections, one cannot help but wonder: could the ebb and flow of household expenditure on nonalcoholic beverages harbor some clandestine influence on the capricious undulations of stock prices?
At the heart of our curious caper lies the enigmatic stock price of DexCom (DXCM), a company renowned for its innovative biometric technologies. As the astute investor is well aware, the stock market is an arena where fortunes are won and lost with the whimsy of a carnival game. Against this backdrop, the notion of untangling the relationship between household beverage spending and stock prices might seem as lighthearted as a clown juggling watermelons – and yet, as we shall see, there may be more at play than meets the eye.
So, with a twinkle in our eyes and a stratagem in our statistical arsenal, we dove headfirst into the tumultuous sea of data, armed with a fervent hope that our findings would not only entertain but also enlighten. Through this unorthodox study, we endeavor to add a touch of fizz and fun to the academically austere discourse on economic trends and stock market influences. Now, let us embark on this whimsical whirlwind of wacky correlations and buoyant bubbles, and see what unexpected delights may effervesce from the depths of our analysis. As we shall soon discover, in the delightful dance of consumer expenditures and stock market sway, even the most unexpected connections may indeed hold water - or perhaps, in the case of nonalcoholic beverages, a refreshing splash of sparkling surprise.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The literature on the connection between annual US household spending on nonalcoholic beverages and stock market movements is as varied and sparkling as a freshly poured glass of soda. Smith (2010) meticulously analyzed consumer expenditure patterns and their potential impact on market trends, laying the groundwork for our own quirky investigation. Building upon this foundation, Doe (2015) delved into the intricate web of consumer behavior and its ripple effect on stock prices, paving the way for our offbeat exploration into the world of nonalcoholic beverages and market whimsies.
Turning the pages from the serious to the sensational, we saunter into the realm of popular non-fiction works that provide both insight and amusement. In "The Economics of Coffee," the authors tantalizingly traverse the landscape of coffee consumption, awakening our senses to the multifaceted world of nonalcoholic libations. Meanwhile, "The Psychology of Thirst" immerses readers in the enthralling psychology behind beverage preferences, offering a refreshing perspective on the intersection of human desires and consumer trends.
Venturing further into the land of literature, we encounter fictional works that, although not directly related to economic analysis, nevertheless titillate the imagination with their thematic resonance. In "The Brewmaster's Bounty," a whimsical tale of a mystical brewery entices us with its frothy fables, weaving a captivating narrative around the enchanting allure of nonalcoholic drinks. Concurrently, "The Tea Leaf Mysteries" beckons with its aromatic intrigue, inspiring us to ponder the enigmatic allure of nonalcoholic elixirs from a different angle altogether.
As if the literary world could not sate our thirst for unconventional inspiration, we turned to the realm of animation and children’s programming for a splash of levity in our research pursuits. From the fizzy antics of animated soda cans in "The Quirky Adventures of Fizzy and Friends" to the whimsical jingles of a cartoony lemonade stand in "Sippin' Shenanigans," we immersed ourselves in a bubbly barrage of visual stimuli that sparked our creative ruminations and incited giggles amid the scholarly seriousness.
In synthesizing this eclectic array of sources, we aim to infuse our own study with a lighthearted spirit that captures the essence of our peculiar pursuit, bridging the realms of academia and amusement in a delightful dance of analytical insight and beguiling banter. With a wink and a nod to the unconventional, our literature review sets the stage for the eccentric investigation that follows, inviting readers to partake in the mirthful medley of curious correlations and anecdotal absurdities that await.

Our findings suggest that the ebb and flow of household beverage expenditures may indeed bear an uncanny relationship with DexCom's stock price, supporting the notion that when it comes to market trends, even the tiniest bubbles can make a big splash. We hope this study brings a dose of fizz and fun to the academic discourse on economic trends and stock market influences.
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The literature on the connection between annual US household spending on nonalcoholic beverages and stock market movements is as varied and sparkling as a freshly poured glass of soda. Smith (2010) meticulously analyzed consumer expenditure patterns and their potential impact on market trends, laying the groundwork for our own quirky investigation. Building upon this foundation, Doe (2015) delved into the intricate web of consumer behavior and its ripple effect on stock prices, paving the way for our offbeat exploration into the world of nonalcoholic beverages and market whimsies.
Turning the pages from the serious to the sensational, we saunter into the realm of popular non-fiction works that provide both insight and amusement. In "The Economics of Coffee," the authors tantalizingly traverse the landscape of coffee consumption, awakening our senses to the multifaceted world of nonalcoholic libations. Meanwhile, "The Psychology of Thirst" immerses readers in the enthralling psychology behind beverage preferences, offering a refreshing perspective on the intersection of human desires and consumer trends.
Venturing further into the land of literature, we encounter fictional works that, although not directly related to economic analysis, nevertheless titillate the imagination with their thematic resonance. In "The Brewmaster's Bounty," a whimsical tale of a mystical brewery entices us with its frothy fables, weaving a captivating narrative around the enchanting allure of nonalcoholic drinks. Concurrently, "The Tea Leaf Mysteries" beckons with its aromatic intrigue, inspiring us to ponder the enigmatic allure of nonalcoholic elixirs from a different angle altogether.
As if the literary world could not sate our thirst for unconventional inspiration, we turned to the realm of animation and children’s programming for a splash of levity in our research pursuits. From the fizzy antics of animated soda cans in "The Quirky Adventures of Fizzy and Friends" to the whimsical jingles of a cartoony lemonade stand in "Sippin' Shenanigans," we immersed ourselves in a bubbly barrage of visual stimuli that sparked our creative ruminations and incited giggles amid the scholarly seriousness.
In synthesizing this eclectic array of sources, we aim to infuse our own study with a lighthearted spirit that captures the essence of our peculiar pursuit, bridging the realms of academia and amusement in a delightful dance of analytical insight and beguiling banter.

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8651995 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 86.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., DexCom's stock price (DXCM)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Annual US household spending on nonalcoholic beverages) over the 17 years from 2006 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.4E-8. 0.0000000641041034342058200000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.93 in 6.4E-6% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 15,599,625 random variables You don't actually need 15 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 16 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 16 because we have two variables measured over a period of 17 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.81, 0.97 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
