My regular trading account has no money or stocks becasue I took all of the stock certificates. What I am trading are several IRA accounts, which have no margin allowed, therefore, I have to sell a stock after the cash which I used to buy it is settled in the previous trade. Otherwise, I will be ban from buying for 3 months. I went to this kind of panelty box twice in the last two years. So, I am not very mobile in trading. Only sell those stock has settled. It is pain of the neck.

Yeah why the heck does it take 3 days to settle a trade?
How are you suppose to know when it settles?

I would much rather trade in an IRA account but the 3 or whatever day rule makes it difficult!
