The use of dark pools as a tool for price suppression is overwhelmingly clear. Market manipulation is actively taking place and the free reign of large organizations to process transactions off-exchange is essentially cheating the system. Additionally, there is basically no real, enforceable regulation on the shorting of stocks. Through aggressive shorting, powerful entities can drive many businesses to closure by not leaving them a way to generate immediate capital (such as by issuing new shares). Short selling is creating massive problems for the market as a whole. A lack of legitimate transparency is making it to where large entities can short real shares and naked shorts. These problems should be addressed as soon as possible.
