that's how most people look at it.. however, you WILL NOT get more than 50shares in one account of ANY IPO any longer from etrade.. my family has 13 accounts .. 11 of them have NEVER gotten an IPO... we have only gotten 2 IPOs this year in almost 20 IPO attemps.. you do the math.. many of these accounts are platinum... the rest are not.. just the luck of the draw one guy got GIGM IPO in 3 of 6 accounts tonight.. go figure.. wish that would happen to me ;) jim

why the need to open an account at ETurd to get IPOs? doesn't your current all-around PERFECT online broker give you access to IPOs already?? why open an account at a 5th rate brokerage?? on the other hand, it's a scandal that it took THEM 3 (THREE!!!) f-cking weeks to open your account!!! they should have credited your 2k check even BEFORE you sent it, on your word alone! and once there, have 10 IPOs already credited and waiting for you to flip them. you should contact your lawyer and sue them asap
