The reason for the IPO situation, is that you mostly must go to MMs for shares, and as such you are disadvantaged on ISLD. By the time shares hit ISLD, you are dealing with traders who have already flipped. Be careful in any case - see my post here: Message 10191381 I made quite a bit the last couple of weeks, and of course, I got complacent, and today I took a whack - happens to me everytime I think I can't go wrong :( Today was not a day where you could trade without full concentration - lots of whiplash and odd moves. The morning started great, I should have quit while ahead, but I couldn't resist, and soon turned a net '+' day into a net '-' day. My own fault entirely. However, I sense great trading opportunities ahead, and can't wait! I'm crossing my fingers that all my brokers, including Datek, will work perfectly :) Good luck! Morgan
