Question from MIKEPLEWIS
If I complete the online profile reviewed the prospectus and placed an order for
an IPO within 5 minutes of it posting on your bulletin, how is it possible to not
receive any shares of the IPO?

Warren E*TRADE C/S
It doesn't matter when you enter in an indication of interest as to whether or not
you receive shares--this is not done on a first-in, first-served basis. Rather, what
happens is we close the window, find out how many shares we have been
allocated, and begin to issue out shares in 100 share blocks. If we have more
indications than shares, they are then issued out randomly in blocks of 100.

And a special message for my associates: No, I have nothing better to do.
