    Its not about internalization, if they tried to get a better fill by sending the order around a few dark pools I would have no problem with that as a long the price improvement was decent(1 cent or more)

    WHX had the same story as BPT a few months back. Eventually it went back to its NPV even though it had all kinds of squeezes and panics. BPT might do that too BPT is decent trade on pre-market too, retail idiots hit all kinds of far away limit orders. I unloaded my position today at $93.00...
