Same here Gerald... except I have received ONE IPO since lottery out of the 20something I've IOI'd for (Cybergold..wooohooo) I had a very nice allocation % with FCFS, now I don't even bother to IOI unless it's a "super-IPO". I've saved all my DJ's in my Alert Folder. I think someday I'll copy and paste them into an email to Etrade along with some statistical calculations (my IOI #'s, total accounts, allocations from this board, etc ) showing them that their 'random allocation' policy is a bunch of BS. At least Wit seems to be mostly fair about their lottery system. William (just venting a little)

Yeah Gerald, I know it really sucks but I'd really rather have it the way it is before the next alternative. I agree FCFS was a lot better for us who have no lives. The current system needs work but I would hate to see some sort of round robin system like some here are suggesting. just my 2c.. M
