Bogleheads:Anniversaries

Anniversaries are used to populate the "This week in financial history" feature on the main page. To modify the dates that appear on the main page, edit This week in financial history.

Adding an event
Any editor can add an event! Here are a few guidelines and suggestions:
 * Add events that are relevant to the history of finance; for example:
 * Birth dates of important thinkers
 * Enactments of key legislation establishing financial institutions and financial instruments
 * 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 not related to 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.
 * Many dates do not have any entries yet. To create a new "date" article with correct formatting, see Anniversary.
