In the end it has very little to do with our business. That makes blockchain a bit more transparent then those shady operations with stocks. Our stock has gone up very significant and that's a disadvantage for those that have money and wants a piece. Those that have power and knowledge will use it. That's why we learn now about dark pools.

We see this because we are obsessed about anything related to our company. I'm going to take a step back and focus on photonics again.

We are seeing it now on Lightwave because the institutional interest is getting wide spread and about to go parabolic. It. Is exacerbated by the fact there are so few shares outstanding. Much of this dark pool trading is actually pretty straight forward. A hedge fund covered by a pure equity broker, one who does not take a positionoffers to sell a block of shares. The broker finds a buyer. They agree on a price around the market level. Do the trade. Report it later.
We are getting new huge customers.

May I point out that FINRA and SEc rules created this morass...

How FINRA doesn’t create more rules around these is quite amazing.

It sums up my feelings about Dark Pools. The SEC has never come clean in protecting the retail investors. Thanks to Gamestop, and other meme stocks they are finally beginning to put some rules around the lending of stocks, but they should eliminate the practice altogether. You still see these hedge funds losing billions, impacting the entire market and even countries over their irrisponsible behavior, which is usually from some yuppy driving around a Lambo.

Why not come clean on the visibility. It should never be possible to loan out shares in multiple of the available float or that exceeds the entire shares outstanding of a company, but the B.S. goes on.

For exmple, it is known that Robinhood was providing data to a major hedgefund (now among the biggest) and front-running the stock pricde while making millions.

It is still an honor among thieves organization. Why not put an end to some of these activities altogether and put the hedge funds on a level playing field with retail investors, instead of protecting the ways to rape retail investors?

The tehnology is there to create a level playing field so why not do it.
