No, really.
If you only evaluated the stock market by where it was at the end of every week, you might think absolutely nothing happened these last few days, judging by where U.S. indices are now compared to last Friday — stocks closed flat today. But this couldn't be further from the truth.
While stocks barely budged overall in the last five trading days, it was the most volatile week in the markets in recent memory.

It really started at the end of last week when U.S. markets plunged, driving the S&P 500 down 5.7% for the week, its worst fall since 2011. Just on Friday Aug. 21, the Dow fell 531 points, its worst day since 2011.
