Yes. FBR has no penalty for flipping.

If FBR is one of the many underwriters, you chances of
getting allocation is about zero. Once in a blue moon,
100 shares might come your way.

Your best bet is when FBR is a lead underwriter. For
Netcentives, they were. And I believe 700 was max
allocation.

richard -

1) if you spoke with them and they told you there's no penalty, i don't see why this wouldn't be true. so flip away.

2) i don't know although i would say not that many except for deals they lead like apl which was a bust. on the plus side i don't think fbr has close to the number of accounts that either etrade or the witboys have so the odds of getting some shares might be slightly better.
