Alternative trading platforms –- so-called "dark pools" of liquidity -- have evolved to address this problem. They work by separating liquidity from information about the transaction -- the participants, lot sizes and transaction prices. Through the process of "non-displayed liquidity," information does become available to both regulators and the public market -- but not until the transaction is complete.<ref>Global Markets Institute, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research, ''[http://www2.goldmansachs.com/ideas/public-policy/3-regulatory-reform/effective-reg-part-4.pdf Effective Regulation: Part 4: Turning Good Ideas Into Good Outcomes], October 2009.</ref> (Italics in original document)</blockquote>
