I'm hardly an expert on IPO's or flipping, but someone else said something that made sense to me--Etrade's policy is essentially that they "reserve the right" to enforce the anti-flipping policy. And when might they do that? When people flip dogs. Everyone is expected to flip the winners. Heck, if anything it helps smooth out the high demand with a little supply. But flipping dogs at or below the IPO price simply exacerbates what is already a bad situation for the underwriters.

Just MHO,
