How about get rid of obfuscated monetary bullshit like darkpools first

What’s wrong with dark pools? The name is meant to conjure up some evil mental image, but it’s just two or more parties that want to offload / onload some stock without impacting the market.

It’s no different than telling your neighbor you’re willing to sell your house for $X without publicly listing it.

Also: what's "monetary" about them?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean as “monetary” would include everything from lunch money to interest rates.
