Yes, I am aware of what dark pools are, and I'm not trying to imply fear. It's irrational to fear things you can't change, and it's unreasonable for me to deplore someone else allocating their money in an interesting fashion. I don't mean Dark pools are inherently bad because they're dark. These Dark pools expose society to unmanaged risk because of the implicit guarantees of support from the general population. It's not so much evil as it is secret, and secrets with public shares are interesting secrets indeed. As I said, I don't live in fear of Dark pools or any financial instrument, but it's important to understand that there is a significant difference between the normal sale and purchase of securities and the activity which happens in Dark pools. Otherwise there would be no need to draw a distinction.
