I think that e-trade has figured out the multiple account idea. I have not seen anyone get shares of any IPO in more than 1 account. Has anyone here recieved shares of the same IPO in more than 1 acct?? That might be what they mean by "other criteria". I know for a fact that flipping is not part of the "criteria" yet. I think it will be eventually but for now the IPO process brings in too many accounts. I also don't think that any two CS reps will give the same answer to any question. I won't even call anymore. It's too frustrating. M

Official ET explanation of IPO allocations. From the March 15 Customer Service Live Forum: Question from TSTBAG* I have a question about IVIL's IPO...Did E-Trade allocate ANY shares? I had my indication in 5 minutes after it was posted. *Warren ETRADE C/S** Yes, we did; if you didn't receive any, it's simply because the offering was oversubscribed. When this happens, it's not a case of "first in, first served"; rather, it's done on a random allocation basis. ~~~~~~~~ Best wishes, Tom
