The $1000 question, my experience : Had a zero balance. I was in very early on a previous ipo, got all the emails, made all the replies, and got no shares. I was told on the phone today by wit, "must have at least $1000 in account if you want shares", also rep stated, if you have $1000 in account, and you're allocated shares on one day, you need an additonal $1000 if you want shares the next day on another IPO", he said, "the computer knows". This guy sounded like he knew what he was talking about, yet contradicts what another rep. told me last week who truly didn't sound like she knew what she was talkin about. Last time i wired funds it took 2 days to show up. Banks have cutoff times for same day transfers. Call your bank. Plan ahead better safe than sorry. Good luck, you'll need it! MJY
