You are absolutely correct my friend. The IPO frenzy is over as we know it. There will still be a little excitement for the good ones, but nothing like before. It really iritates me because you know it was all the whining from those not committed enough to watch all evening. The lazy ones will be rewarded while the ones who made the sacrifices will be punished. Nobody can ever tell me that it was FREE MONEY. I earned all of it. We have all ignored other responsibilities to get a piece of what was always impossible. Now we are again reduced to allowing others to determine our fate. We must rely on LUCK again. FCFS was the first time that I was given the opportunity to EARN a couple of paydays. I was also passed over for many of the IPO's that I had IOI'd. I was never angry about this because I knew that those who had gotten shares were not luckier than me. Only faster. I have direct control over trying harder and watching closer. I have no control over luck. That being said, I can not be mad a E-Trade..ever. Even if it is over, They at least gave me the opportunity. M
