Ahchun chiongg..ahh, Chionging...Ah...chiong....Arhh.

you are wrong.

that 1st broker is really he got some attitude problem becos later when i wrote in to complain abt him, the client dept pple reveal to me he actually also got other big customers complain abt him too that his attitude is snobbish.

The 2nd broker is more than he like to chit-chat & made friends type.He oredi said if client trade big, he happy, if client trade small like those housewife, he still will treat enquires the same to all. And he will honestly tell me to AVOID taking up his OWN HSE's certain placement ipos if he thinks it's no good but he will use his hp and not his office tel to disclose this honest view to me. Whereas I remembered that 1st broker he said brokers are NOT allowed to say their own hse placement certain ipos not good.

Dear comrade, tks for d reconsile, much appreciated fr AK.

Not much a problem in dealing directly with brokers nowadays, as most transaction r on line liao. However brokers will render good help when needed loh, esp when u r at overseas trip.

1st broker to him (UOB) maybe U are not so BBs as compare to other bigger BBs, so try 2nd broker, U maybe important to him as he may not have so many BBs to entertained.

In general. Most brokers/Remisiers will have to work after office hours to run all the ground work

Sorry, AK apology, really, am deadly wrong. Next time I will be more careful while posting in the SJ, as many brokers r also in d forum.

Ha ha, AK small timer lah, u big one, got 3 broking hses. Congrate loh. 

you are dead wrong.

A lot depends on each individual broker's character & attitude too. It's not confirmed only depends on how much u trade with him.

I hav 3 accounts with 3 brokerages now. My 1st broker in uob in 2003 I trade VERY big, but that broker not helpful & the way he talk quite rude too. Later in end 2003  fed up with him, I opened another account with a different brokerage, this broker at 1st I trade much smaller with him but he very helpful, in fact, i still remembered clearly when I 1st transferred to him & haven't execute any trade yet but he oredi willing to give me placement 5 lots for a ipo. And he willing to use his hp to call me after office hrs at 7pm too.

U got a point bro ! I think they r purposely limiting the float first to see the market response.. Well if they cant raise enough $$$ now, can always call for cum rights a year down the road lol
