you guys are the 500 "best" customers at datek and you think some had have to worry about juggling a measly $5300 in cash ? what were the criteria used by datek as to whom was asked to participate in the GS IPO ?

<<When I talked to the supervisor, she said that GS had also denied a total of 129 brokerages who thought they were getting shares! I do know of another person who had shares taken back by Wit Capital. >> Unless Datek is misquoted, this is a blatant lie by them. Of the 129 brokerage firms that expressed interest but did not received shares, None but Datek misunderstood the procedures. It was merely an indication of interests, and that NO PROMISES, NO PREDICTIONS OR GUARANTEES were ever made by GS as to any of them would receive any share during the allocation process This is also a self-damning statement by Datek. If you were a member of the jury, you would have to seriously wonder why all 129 firms clearly understood the terms and conditions with Goldman, and for some very peculiar reasons, Datek didn't. If Datek employees keep running their mouths slandering GS, I would expect Goldman to initiate litigations to protect their well deserved impeccable reputation soon.
