Definitely appears that this time difference is legitimate. I have three accounts that are now in jail along with my inlaws account and they all got notices on PSIT at 1005 or 1006 whereas the other accounts got notices around 1025. The plot thickens. <g>

I've held LNTE in another account about 3 days too long, but maybe I'll hold a little longer now.

IMHO, why throw away money you now have for a remote possibility that you'll get another IPO in the next 60 days? If you don't like the stock and you think it's heading down then sell it and pocket the money! You waited long enough to win an IPO lottery so take the cash and don't give it back. You only win the IPO lottery if you make money. If you give it all back then you lost.

It would be interesting to know how many of these people who are always getting 1/7 or 1/5 allocations are getting them in the same accounts each time.

Lurker, Sam, Steve, and all...

Based on posts here and lots of discussion I've monitored in chatrooms, there is a VERY real possibility that there is a glitch in E*Trade's anti-flip/penalty system that they're unaware of. I and others are working to verify this, and to help get it corrected if it turns out to be true. I'll be posting details soon.
