Today the Globe and Mail had an article on Goldman Sachs opening an alternative stock exchange (was not able to link it).

Basically, a dark pool which does not allow price discovery for the retail investor. The majority of my purchases lately happen to go through these alternative exchanges where I do not see the transaction. Even the price does not change if I bought lower or higher. I am with TD Waterhouse. There are no free mkts anymore.

Another day of disconnect between the bullion up and PM miners down. Manipulation??? I will continue with CEF.A as my major holding for now.
