If you flip and get side-lined (for future IPOs) you can go to another broker for the next IPO.Incidentally I believe other brokers also wave this deterrent flag at their customers (not just Waterhouse). WIT requires 5K in the account I think. Perhaps this issue of side-lining could become a rallying point for the on-line investing/trading community as it is patently unfair that the big guys who get most of the issue can then reap profits without penalty: the reason for this deterrent I think is to reduce volatility but a lot of these stocks are wayward well after the 60 days...no sense!

Barb I got an e-mail from Schwab saying that they were participating in the TWE IPO and to call if I was interested. Hard to believe that Waterhouse would allocate many shares to the 800-lb gorilla in their sector but I'am going to call Monday to see if I can get some. John
