Dark Pools

One of the fastest moving trends on Wall Street has flown under the radar of individual investors and, seemingly, the Securities and Exchange Commission: the rapid rise of "dark pools" stock trading arenas.

As the name suggests, dark pools lack transparency: They are used by institutional investors seeking to trade large blocks of stocks without creating the price wobbles that routinely accompany such moves. The trading is done away from the traditional exchanges, offering unprecedented anonymity.

Recently, more than 20% of all trades in New York Stock Exchange-listed stocks have been funneled through these dark pools, up from just 3% to 5% two years ago, according to NYSE figures.
