Steven-- you notice that the DJ Alerts for flipped accounts come out about 4-5 minutes before DJs for clean accounts? If anyone is getting DJs at earlier times for accounts about which you are unsure whether ET considers them flipped or not...the timestamp will reveal their status to you. Even if an ET rep tells you otherwise. I was told by 4 reps that flipped accounts get "flagged" and that my NON-FLIPPED accounts which never get ipos are not flagged. Nonetheless, I've discovered that several of my new virgin accounts which were opened in December and have never received any ipos and have never traded anything at all and therefore could not have flipped anything...have gotten 22 consecutive DJs (since ET began enforcing its flipping rules) and that these DJ Alerts arrive about 5 minutes BEFORE my clean account DJs arrive... So somehow these particular "bad" accounts are tagged as flippers or ineligible for IPOs. You can test this theory with your accounts too. I guess the only remedy would be to close the accounts.
