deeber - i agree with you wholeheartedly. i used to be a platinum customer (well, still am, but it will end in march); i had one account, e-trade was doing good business off of me.

and i didn't mind FCFS, because you had to DO something. it would have been fairer based on # of trades, but they didn't set up the game that way.

however, this 'new' way is ridiculous. i've had a couple people open accounts, because they will get *1* IPO. and 50 shares * $20 = 1000...which will mean a 100% return on their investment.

me? i'll keep mine as a last ditch backup, but the money in there won't be anything they can make interest money from. you SHOULD get those things you requested, but you won't...
