Gary, thanks for the IPO information. Even though my account is classified as a GOLD I was not asked which account to place the shares in when I spoke with the SCH IPO rep on Tuesday. Like you, I also have an IRA and a margin trading account so I'll have to make my decision regarding the Critical Path shares on Monday when they call to advise how many shares I've been allocated.

Gary: Your IPO comments were very helpful. As a platinum signature member, I've had some frustrating experiences just trying to get through on the phone with the IPO representatives -- the lines seem always busy -- no matter what time I call. How do you get through? I've been told the only way to place an IPO order is by calling but that they're working on an "online" approach (there are legal hassles involved or some such). I even wrote a letter to Charles Schwab himself about the problem and an IPO exec later called me. In that particular case, I got a 100 shares of the specific IPO (INSP) which turned out fine -- I still hold it. Any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I've been frustrated trying to get through recently again. Thanks! Guy E. Fleming
