Only a suspicion, but I absolutely note a growing "collusion" of big money pools on the short side of the market. That's primarily why, imo, the dark pools have been pushed by the bigs in wall street. They can capture smaller and smaller cap stocks. imo
Trans - agree 100%. Some of the IOC shorts absolutely trade back and forth with their "sister" funds. I use Totalview at Scottrade which allows me to see 15 times deeper into the market maker book than level 2. You can see the how the MMD profiles and bid and ask all seem to magically match on the way down. It's almost comical how transparent it is. And this is not even seeing the darks.
