Has anyone gotten in on any other IPOs through ETrade...I've been a customer of their for a couple of years, but I never pursued that aspect of their service, because I didn't think it'd be that useful. However, this EBAY IPO is making me think differently. Actually, I've been using Datek and Suretrade more lately just because of the lower commissions. I'm beginning to mainly just use Datek because SureTrade is buggy. I may go back to doing more trades on ETrade though because I would think some trading activity might make me look like a better customer and more "worthy" to be allocated any future IPO shares. Also, does one have to subscribe to the "Professional Edge" service on E*Trade to be eligible for the IPOs? It is about $25 a month, but it potentially would be worth it I think.
