Got this from their estation site <Q&A archive> : Question from BUBBAGUMP Hello. What are the odds that you get an allotment of shares for an IPO if you are just a regular customer Warren ETRADE C/S If I could predict that, I'd be in Vegas...it depends on the number of shares available, and where you are in the allotment "queue". >>

Actually flipping has been most prosperous for me. I have been able to increase the number of shares in an IPO by flipping early and buying back one to several days later. I have gotten MMXI and TSCM after flipping. I think available funds and a good time stamp have been more of a factor than flipping. Great catch on PCLN, VUSA, MQST and MMXI. CDOT and NETO were thrown in to keep us on our toes and should be used as small bait to catch other big IPO fish in the future. 4-Bob
