I can't see a fucking thing

Much like the night's inclination to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet, ain't it just like the Wall Street Journal to lay a headline on you like this ...

Investment Technology Group to Launch Dark Pool for Bond Trading
-- Brokerage aims to tap investor demand to trade bonds more cheaply --

Remember that book by Michael Lewis about high-frequency trading?  Well, it was really a story about dark pools.  A horror story, just so we're clear.
