i;m not clear on how the investor without access to the Dark Pool loses out? Why does "the market drop out from underneath you?"

Excellent -- White Board is very helpful instruction. It has great value for me. Well spoken, methodical, clear, concise all apply here. I return to it every time I am considering events in the financial and investment world.
