That system you seem to have trouble with. I assume it is because you do not trade often with Etrade, and fear that this would put you at a disadvantage. I can't blame you for acting in self-interest, just as someone that generates 8,000+ dollars a year for Etrade in trading revenue prob. is looking out for his own. :)

Once they've seen Paris you'll never get them back to the farm.

It's too late for E*Trade to pull back on their IPOs-For-Everyone. If they would have started out favoring Platinum traders then people would have grumbled but accepted it. To do that now is "taking away" something that everyone now considers their right.

BTW, I'm one of those unworthy E*Trade peons that you seem to look down on. I conduct probably four or five stock/option trades a month on average in my E*Trade account (I do have other accounts). If I'm unworthy compared to you, what makes you worthy compared to an even bigger trader? Why should you get a shot?
