I have also used DLJ for a number of years and have always been pleased with their service.

Their system of allocating IPO shares is equitable. It is much better than WIT's system, IMO. They seem to have the resources to back up (buying additional shares) the IPO companies after they go public and shareholders are pulling out. A number of brokerage houses don't support the IPO's after they go public.

I am planning on transferring positions from other online brokers (Schwab and Fidelity) to take advantage of the IPO's.

WSJ article today featuring crybaby Merrill brokers no longer able to hold accounts and expecting decline in 300K salaries a trained chimp with Nerf darts thrown the WSJ could have earned.

I call this progress. Now let's get rid of real estate brokers and their six percent commissions.
