<<Hey, you guys are kinda funny>>

You are right. Unfortunatelly, it's almost impossible to get all shares you requested in a hot IPO. The broker must act in the best
interests of as many customers as possible, not in the best interest
of one or two customers by giving them all the shares at the expense of others. Of course, not all customers are equal, the ones that generate the most business, get preferential treatment.

Is there anyone who got more than 100 shares from Schwab? I got my 100. Even at 100 shares a person Schwabs shares would run out. H&Q had shares which they gave some % to Schwab and I can't remember if there were other firms involved.

I was not un-happy I didn't get all my shares because I liked them better at 9-11 than 15. I will consider buying more if it goes below the IPO.
