Private Stocks And 'Dark Pools' In American Finance (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

We don’t want to be “shocked, shocked” that the US stock market is not kindergarten.  That just maybe not everything is perfectly fair and clean and open at every moment.  We get that.  On the other hand, Wall Street is supposed to be the great engine of American investment.  And it is where an awful lot of people’s savings – one way or another – end up.  College savings.  Retirements.  And they expect the system not to be rigged.  But maybe it is.  Everybody’s talking “dark pools” these days.  This hour On Point:  Wall Street’s “dark pools” – where you don’t know what’s going on. / Tom Ashbrook
