Why did it change? When stores have sales and run out of that item, they often issue rain checks. But we aren't talking about store sales, we aren't talking about concerts, we are talking about grred. Of course those who hover and click are upset, the system has now been made fair and the haves never like it when they have to share with the have nots.

LOL, Dale, read the reply I just posted - prior to reading your post: ...It's just that the whiners complained to E*trade and now 1 in maybe 10000 will get shares of something like STRM. Good luck all, you will need it. The "hard work and reward" relationship is over. You and I see eye to eye on this... -VeloSpeed

Hard work? You've got to be kidding me. More like mindless, tedious work.

No doubt about it, the old way wasn't fair for people on the west coast at work when Etrade accepted IOI's at 2:20 in the afternoon,* I work in Phoenix, AZ. How many IPOs did I have one of the earliest times on? As long as you have a computer on your desk you had an advantage working on the west coast as you had a faster connection than someone at home. This was especially true after publication of that auto-refresh site. I just placed it on an open part of my screen and had it refresh every 20 seconds.
