 * Important events, such as major market events, the creation of indexes, the creation of investment products, the creation of account structures (retirement plans)
 * Don’t forget events outside the US
 * Add as many events to a particular day as you like
 * Briefly summarize the event:
 * About 15–25 words
 * Use the past tense
 * Use consistent formatting:
 * Note the formatting of existing entries, especially in terms of punctuation.
