I just got a response from Etrade.. I asked them if they were gonna continue to use RSSF and CSFB and why did they choose Witsoundview? I also asked if they keep any shares they get from Wit? Here's the reply: <<Thank you for choosing E*TRADE OptionsLink. In regards to your IPO questions, the reason for doing business with Wit has to do with a combination of business factors associated with dealing with underwriters. We are trying to offer the most shares and most opportunites for IPO's to our customers. We feel that Wit is going to contribute to our overall goals in the near future. We are not keeping shares for IPO's on our hands for our own investment, that would be a violation of the SEC. I hope you can understand that we are trying to provide you with the best services available, all things considered. >> notice how they of course never said whether they were going to ONLY use Wit.. lol ; how typical jim
