Introduction Compact

This subject is dedicated to discussion of all issues concerning IPOs offered through E*Trade via E*Offering.

I am a Platinum customer and just tried my first IPO which I got zero shares of the 3000 I ordered for BBSY Broadbase Software.

Issues to discuss:
1. How many people are really getting shares? Let's hear from you.
2. Have you gotten shares in really popular issues like RHAT and I guess BBSY will be?...Or do you just get the duds that no one wants?
3. How long have you held the stocks?
4. How many out there have been let down like me. I have 4 accounts with E*Trade?
5. This would also be a good place for alerts on status as it is hard to keep up with E*trade's tight schedule.
