Ibexx,

<<Another full-service house gave me a much reduced commission rate through
negotiation. They looked at my account--size and trading frequency--and accepted my
proposal. Sometimes it is all relations that matter, like in everything else. I've left out the
name of this brokerage just to be discreet, since I don't know if they do this for
everybody.>>

They all do this. Negotiated commissions have been required by law for the last 25 years.

<<I have an account with H&Q, thus at least I am in a position to ask for allocations.
So far I have only gotten a few hundred shares each time on hot IPOs.>>

Do you fall into one of the categories mentioned by the ex-Merrill broker above, i.e., referral from big account, heavy hitter, or friend of top-producing broker?
