<<Hi KG If you don't mind me asking Is you broker either CSFB or SSB I am supposed to get 1000 through SSB and as as of wednesday I want everyone to go on a strict diet of Oreo's and cheese<g> Perry >> Well perry, looks like you got lucky...or are a select client.....I am SSB also, and at first was told I could get 1000 shares.....then, when I couldnt make up my mind, I told her I'll just take 100 and see where she goes this summer........then she told me it was oversubscribed and she was told to only put select clients into it, or ones with big bucks in their acct's ( I have several accounts with several companies....do most of my trading online via cheaper brokers, so I dont keep much at SSB anymore ). She still said since I "used" to be a select client she could probably still get me 100 shares.......anyway, she misconstrued what I said when I told her I didnt need 1000 but would take 100 and then called me to tell me she couldnt get me the 100 shares.....seem's they upped the offering price to $31 and they are oversubscribed by 8 times..........anyway, let me know if you end up getting shares, and how many......I'd like to have something to throw back into my brokers face as another reason why I have moved most of my funds away from that account....why pay for the full service broker unless they are doing something for you?? Thanks....and good luck......I think kraft is a great defensive stock and may do well....but maybe I am better taking that $$ for kraft and buying some beaten down quality tech....get more shares while beaten down, with a hopeful recovery and nice ROI in 5 years.....I mean sheez....JDSU is heading to single digits......ntap and sunw right behind em'.....ocpi looks great to me...the cheaper the better....I think stor will make it big....corv has good potential at a fair price and etc.......
