Thanks for your reply - looks like I will be sitting around Tue/Wed morning, watching everyone else get rich - I'm surprised that anyone would put up with 1 hour plus on hold, for a lousy 100 shares - although come to think of it, I won't even get that much if you have to be on the A list to get it. Again, I am a complete rookie at this IPO stuff but I have to wonder why Schwab would even bother listing this as a service - anyone with 6+ figures in their Schwab account isn't going to spend an hour on hold on a working day (don't know why the IPO desk couldn't be open evenings/weekends ?)for 100 shares ! One more question - if you get 50 shares or so, does this count against you if you get right back and try and offer on another IPO ? And does it make any difference if you try and get a huge amount i.e does Schwab allot based on a percentage of what you asked for ? Sorry to keep whining - hope either you or Jatin has good luck and snags a sizeable amount of NPNT ! Thanks, DN
