Yes, there is dark pool trading on this stock. For instance the ticker total today was 213,300 where the total reported on IHUB and Fidelity was 200,803. Not a significant difference today. But, some days the ticker total is two to three times the volume reported on IHUB and Fidelity.

According to the representative I talked to, who is affiliated with Ameritrade, the difference is primarily the dark pools. The pools are reported on the ticker but are not included in the total volume reported.

If you get some software that sums the ticker for BORK v.s. any of the brokerage houses you will see a difference and sometimes a substantial difference.

RockQQ is exactly right. Unless you are a professional with access to all the information, the daily stats are only a guide and sometimes not a very good one. I recall someone once said if you try to look to closely at the details you really don't know where you are or where you are going. (similiar to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle)
