Kumar...yes you can receive IPO shares (Initial Public Offering) at WIT Capital. You have to open an account with them and have $2000 on deposit. At that point you can try to get these shares like the rest of us. It is based on a lottery system...however you must make an offer within a certain window period of time when the IPO is requesting conditional offers. The IPO's available can be found at WIT Capital web site. Please explore Wit Capital to find out more. It actually SOUNDS more complicated than it really is. Also, if you do receive IPO shares from WIT Capital there is no brokerage fee! So if the IPO is priced at $8.00 and you have been allotted 100 shares...your cost would be $800 period. Also, if you have an account at E*Trade...they also offer IPO shares. There are other places to get IPO shares as well. I would start at WIT Capital first. Hope that helps, Mary
