First column Hey you guys! If you want to make your tables easier to read (without the long line problem of "Use Fixed Font") then throw in the #pre# #/pre# "preformatted" HTML tags (replace # with < or >) just like we all currently do with bold and italics. Then you can embed spaces. See how well it works: -- beginning pre -- 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 You can also have as many blank likes as you want. >> << Col 1 Col 2 A Z B Y C X D W -- ending pre -- And then you can have a big long line with lots of words in it that will wrap properly like this one which is filled with lots of babble that's only here to make the like long enough to make my point even though everyone already knows what I'm talking about.

Louis-- thank you for posting the allocations.. these replicate closely the performance in my accounts with one MAJOR exception.. All my allocations were received during January and February...since March, I have been consistently DJ'd in each account for the 16 IPOS (none of these accounts has ever flipped anything). Was there a pattern to your allocations? or were they distributed fairly randomly during the quarter?

Louie, congrats on the allocations, but to me your allocations are a major problem with Etrade's distribution currently. You have 2 $4k accounts that get 3 allocations each, and I have 2 Platinum accounts with roughly $100k in assets combined that get 1 and 2 allocations respectively. So much for Platinums having better chances of allocations. And to me, even with a random system, they should set a limit on how many allocations an account can get before all accounts get an allocation. And my sister's small account didn't get any allocations, although there were much fewer IPOs that were IOId for. KJ
