I also got my highest bid fully allocated. Other bids 0 of course.

makes sense, they wouldn't have allocated less than 100 shares as that would be an odd lot. however if you had bid for say 5000 shares, i think you would have only gotten maybe 500-1000 shares. i don't know exactly how they worked the allocation, but i suspect that if you were considered a retail account, you got proportionately much less than an institution... that's typical because they want to encourage a base of solid large long term holders... most retail guys flip their stock in the first 48hrs... as for first day trading... i'd sit tight on this for a couple weeks for maximum effect...when it becomes marginable in 2 weeks, the stock should get another leg up.
