See that's the difference between ETrade and ( TDAmeritrade and Fidelity )
Ameritrade told me that they would have more 'problems' if they DIDN'T pay divvies right away. Cause I asked them if it was normal procedure to pay a cash divvy w/o getting the cash first.
So if it's on the DTC list, they pay it out immediately (On a Sunday in FAGI's case....Because the DTC moved that department to London, and there's a time difference) ......and are willing get the cash later.
So when the DTC took the divvy down, ATrade took out our money......
