Q: so the vp and head of rbc investing finally returned my call. he said there were 474 expressions of interest for freshii, rbc investing received a very small number of shares for freshii and as he explained only the first 10 expressions of interest got some fill, i was 47.53,64,65,abd 74. my next question was why they did not close the freshii ipo right away, he said they discussed this forever in meetings, and decided to leave it open, my reply is giving false hope is disgusting, he agreed and indicated they will not do it anymore.
i agree with peter paying more than 13.50 is probably a dumb move, personally i am a big health nut so my emotion better not get the better of me.
on another note i often trade long dated options 1 and 2 years out, example facebook trading at 130. 2 years out the 130 are at 20 bucks, a number easier to deal with, the fees from rbc are astronomical on each trade. i spoke to the vp about this and he agreed but they have no facility to offset something like this for large traders.
for my stock trades i pay 6.95, i know there are far less expensive sites but with 15 accounts and my banking at rbc the hassle to change is huge.he offered me a small consolation which i accepted. dave
