Happy Anniversary, ETF Investors: The "Flash Crash"

FYI: Quick, do you remember what happened on Aug. 24, 2015? If you don’t, you’re not alone; many investors forgot the “flash crash” that happened that day.

Let’s take a second to go back: On Monday, Aug. 24, 2015, a flash crash occurred in U.S. markets that sent the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 1,000 points in the first few minutes of trading amid concerns about China. In addition, an abnormally high 1,278 trading halts in China occurred—stemming from limit-up/limit-down rules implemented to curb unexpected stock market volatility.
