No chance for FMKT. I was away for holiday. I had someone covering my accounts for me but he dropped the ball and didn't get my COs in on time. It was real tough watching from the sideline on that one but 2 good friends of mine scored 50 each. As for flipping at E, all of my accounts have flipped but none have gone into long dry spells. The last 2 months have been a hell of a ride.

Flip is irrelevant for now. Hope it doesn't change. BTW, that's a sweet roll you're on. Congrats!

EDollar, I think you are right, flipping may be an issue now. Read the langauge on the Etrade IPO FAQ and also in Power Etrade site. They are saying lower chances for accounts with history of short holding period. I am a bit concerned by this, tempted to open an IRA now and see if that account is allocated. (I also dont plan to flip in that, to see if that makes a difference) I don't know, but Im just thinking the fact that there is explicit language now about lowering odds for short holding periods maybe things have changed. bob
