Well, this was much better than the redhat fiasco
(I didn't open an etrade account because it sounded too much like a scam...open account, take test, don't get shares)
(The Wall Street Journal had an article about it in september -- it actually would have worked).
With DBAB, you send them money AFTER you get shares. Which I can cope with.
DB sent me an email last night, saying the pricing would be a 7:00 PST this morning. At about 12:00 EST, I called them to confirm my allocation.
(I wish I would have gotten more than 140 -- but I'm very happy now).
I ended up getting my email about 3:00 EST.
I had no problem getting through to them twice by phone (once to confirm, once to sell 40 shares).
Did I have to call to confirm? If I didn't call, I wouldn't have got my shares? (Just curious -- this IPO email nonsense has to be tempered with the understanding email sometimes takes several hours)
