How is that different to the current alternative dark pools?
- geofft 8y agoDark pools are a special case of this phenomenon, yes, but they're different from regular stock exchanges precisely because they're dark. Some market participants prefer them, and some don't. But a hypothetical "light pool" would be strictly preferable to NASDAQ-but-weekly - it's almost always in every participant's individual interest to trade immediately instead of waiting up to a week and randomly getting orders filled or not.
