Jim, FWIW, it's not only the "clickers" that are upset... I got lucky w/ HSAC b/c I just so happened to notice a flurry of activity on this thread (I have it bookmarked obviously) and went over to E-Trade and filed an IOI. That's the only IPO I ever got. I tried on one other (STRM) but was too late. Oh boy was I upset not to get some of that action, but I never called to whine about the clickers either. I'm not a "clicker," I even stand to gain from E-Trade's decision to change to a lottery format, but I still don't think it's right! FCFS was fair, that's how most things in life are until the "whiners" yell loud enough. -VeloSpeed

james, IMO, the have nots will still be have nots with a 2 hour IPO window, it's in the odds. And I didn't complain to Etrade when I didn't get IVIL, PCLN, STRM, MMPT, etc.. I just worked harder to get some IPO's in the future. So I have no problem sharing with the have nots, in fact when I didn't get shares of an IPO, I wished those that did, good luck, instead of complaining to ETrade.
