In this case ETrade did not get shares to allocate. The Street.com had their own shares to allocate, but needed to go through a broker, and chose ETrade (perhaps others). I am a subscriber but my name was not drawn in the lottery.

Rick, thestreet.com contacted subscribers on this matter a few weeks ago. It was thesreet.com NOT Etrade that arrange to provided shares to their subscribers. As far as the average Etrade customer is concerned, they never would have known about it if this guy had not posted. There is a special login screen on etrade that allows the IOI for thestreet.com, but only if you are one of the subcribers. I do not see a problem with it, then again I am a thestreet.com subscriber. --bob
