Unfortunately it really depends on the company. If the transfer agent has all the paperwork ready to go and there is no tieup at the DTC then it is up to your broker's clearing house when to change you account. If all is well then I will have mine tomorrow, but as I understand it usually Etrade & Ameritrade are among those that take 3 days minimum. If it is not properly ready then we all wait probably at least 15 trading days.
