Wolverine, Like you, I also have multiple accounts (2 to be exact). The last digit on both of my accounts ends in an odd number. On the other hand, my friend's (also subscribes to Discover's IPOs) account ends in a an even number. He got allocated for CMDX and I didn't. I'm making a wild speculation by saying that maybe the allocation process factors in whether the last digit is odd or even. Doing this will create a more level playing field for everyone. Everyone who qualifies and wishes to subscribe will eventually get something. If the process were to be truly random, then a situation might arise where one account qualifying holder might get all IPOs, while another might get nothing - one unhappy customer. Wolverine, please test out my theory with the your account numbers and see the theory holds true. Neil
