First of all, I can guarantee you are not getting a lot of stock on these deals. Everyone is going to complain about his or her allocation on these IPOs; Fidelity usually gets the largest allocation, which consists of at most a measly 50,000 shares, relative to its hundreds of billions of dollars in assets.


And this wuss complains that he can only get 100 shares. Is his portfolio more than 1/500 that of Fidelity?
