Lonterminvest: If you geta chance,could you please do me a favor and expand on your comment "IPO allotment shares".... to be sold. I think the "lock up" period is for six (6) months after March 30, 1999, however, I am not sure. I am trying to learn something. Thanks.

I disagree entirely. The average trade thus far today is approx. $36,000 each! That doesn't sound like your typical joe shmoe investor to me. I also don't think that you are going to see a "IPO alloted Shares sell off on Friday". If people wished to sell....they already would've sold! There is not a brokerage firm or bank in the nation that gives a darn if you sell your IPO shares within 30 days (especially when the IPO has gone up 750%!!!!!) E*Trade claims that they "punish" people for selling shares....well...that didn't stop anybody. The only time a brokerage house is concerned with IPO flippers is when the IPO does not do well. Jason
