You're just mad that you went underwater on VUSA.

Danny, I don't think you understand the implications of this new policy. Let's say Etrade gets 1,000,000 shares of EELN, that's enough shares for 10,000 accounts. Guess how many IOI's Etrade will receive in 2 hours for EELN, especially when everyone emails their friends about the 2 hour window. My guess is, with about 1 million Etrade accounts, they will get at least 100,000 IOI's. Then you have a 1 in 10 chance, or a 10% chance. Now what if Etrade only gets 100,000 shares of Juniper, think about it. IMO, we will now have to put in about 10 IOI's to get allocated 1 IPO offering. The lights have just gone dim bud, IMO.
