Believe me, it took some work for brokers to get hot IPO shares for individual investors vs funds like Fido. They had to compete with other brokers and rationed among their clients with only a limited number of shares.

I knew my broker had to talk to his back-office manager to get me the few hundreds shares each case when NSCP, UUNT, RMBS and ATHM came out. I wanted no part of the 2nd and 3rd tier IPOs they otherwise pushed on small investors, and the brokers whom I have worked with all know that I KNOW.

Although a few hundred shares of anything do not make for a significant position, I still want them in order to stay in the loop and keep my earned "priviledge."
