Dark pools aren't listed nasdaq i don't think like adrs or an over the counter us listing, which alot of aim outfits have been doing recently and fairly cheaply i'm guessing (as they claim research boosts liquidity).I'm not sure of the legal nuances reporting rules regarding dark pools obviously (i think they might be able to be delayed), but swaps can always get around stake-building (reducing) reporting rules if necessary anyway.However i don't see why that would be the case with us.It does allow an insitution/individual potentially (with or without knowing) to sell a bunch of shares in a share without tanking the price afaik.Thus potentially decreasing volatility but aim is always a volatile beast with many pis anyway.Inevitably retail pis will get the sore end of the deal price wise (just like on aim sometimes indeed!) in a dark pool trading against institutions but i doubt it will make much of a difference to most pis portfolios, especially if Lindy pulls it off!Greater liquidity in aim can only be a better thing (i'm hoping!).
