But the money is not there. It's in the guy's account who sold you the shares. You're holding an ASSET in the form of shares. When you sell that asset, you receive money and give up the asset. I still think it's a degradation of the language to say there's money in the market. There isn't, it's sitting in accounts. If shares were the same as money, we wouldn't bother trading would we?
