OT - Yes, you can ... money (down) and a lot of guts! I recall when VERT did its IPO, I placed an order to the broker for 1000 units at market which was 33 at the time. The fellow was new and slow and once he was over with the transaction, I had paid 38. I was not happy and asked to sell them immediately, at market, again (because you can't control the price on these "things"). He was a bit slow again and, couple minutes later, said I had sold for 46!! I guess one always recalls the good ones. Dealing with internets is like dealing with options and it's just as difficult to get out of them. Can't go to the beach; can't have a social life ... and yet, need a lot of money ... despite all the successes! Cheers - Tom
