Thats not good.
After all its being touted left and right you own the stocks, so everyone just assumes such a transfer is quick and easy. Since the stocks are not part of the liquidation process, Id also expect that process to be quick, like a week or two.
But reality is, thats not the case at all. It will take a long time.
I bet nothing would︀ happen if youd need to sell the stocks to fund an medical emergency in the︁ meantime.
One more to the great taking then (that one does not own stocks really︂ and it being merely an illusion).
how fast was the cash transferred? Do you wait︃ for the cash as well?
