rande- i really didnt have that tough a decision on the palm ipo, even now that its at $38, i figure it will be well past $100 on the open, but i was surprised to get them, but i cut a deal with my broker last year to get all his ipo's, usually shut out on the really hot ones, just surprised to get any palm pilot, as a side note, if anyone does want to open an account with a full service broker, if it is big enough, ask them for all their ipo allocations, they might just go for it, i keep a full service account plus an on line account, my full service guy runs his account and i get his ideas, i run my ideas through my on line account, the ipo's ive gotten this year has more than made up for commission difference, ive gotten a lot of good ideas, and a lot of good info on what the big boys are pushing on their morning sqawk calls, my full service account did very well last year, my on line account did even better, both were at all time high (again) yesterday, dont know how long that will last, but go long till your wrong!!

And also Carpe, if you flip your shares...how likely is your broker to give you shares to other IPO's, which could be better, in the future?

Good luck, Julie

I was allocated 100 shares in a Wit Capital account. The Wit board is very active and I only saw 4 people post that they were allocated shares. Many more were shut out. I do not think it was a very easy IPO to get.
