I don't mean to sound smug but 100k is chump change. To ML, PW and even Etrade it's a drop in the bucket. I don't understand why people think a company owes them a shot at an IPO for that kind of money. Furthermore, why worry about an IPO when you can buy stocks like QCOM, JDSU, VRSN and many others that have great technicals, momentum and quite frankly are doing better than many IPO's. It sounds to me like you think that Etrade owes you a risk free 2 bagger for adding 100k to your account. Again, I'm not slamming you but to quote Norm Peterson, "It's a dog eat dog world out there" and with 100K "you're wearing milkbone underwear." Sorry if I offended you as that was not my intent.
