All along I hoped and prayed if the account got big enough I could get some ipo's! I thought the 2nd $10,000 would be easier!

I'm still wondering your impression of the amzn ads. You'll see them at some point, if you haven't already. I wanted to wait for your opinion but I'll give you mine anyway. I saw the one with the male singers standing on top of a giant cake (looks like the King Family or Lawrence Welk singing number or something)... singing "Amazon has tons of toys - 2000 pounds - thats a lot of toys". The words are really stupid in a kitschy way. Anyway I was watching tv with my friends 61-yr old mom and these commercials really got her attention, and mine at the same time for different reasons... therefore I think they are effective. She looked because it looked like old-tv, unusual, and was even humming the song. In my case I just liked them because they were stupid. I know people that like the Ameritrade Stewart ads are not going to like these but I think they achieved their goal, which is tough because you are trying to reach a different audience it seems, fwiw. Anyway I don't know ads, I only know what I like.
