"With every IPO or secondary public offering we do, we distribute up to 50 percent of the shares through E*TRADE customers. As a result, you need an E*TRADE account to participate in any of our public offerings."

That seems fine and dandy, and I hope E*Trade does get nice allotments...

But 2% is still up to 50 percent... Lead underwriters do get the lion's share, though, and hopefully E*Trade will get some of those scraps.
