Thats true, the three day waiting period is froM the date of purchase. So if you bought USXP Monday and sold it Monday, you would have to wait 3 days for the cash from that sale. If you bought USXP Mon. and sold Tue. you would have to wait 2 for the cash. If you bought USXP Mon. and sold wed. you would have to wait 1 day for the cash AND FINALLY if you bought USXP Mon. and sold Thur. or there after, the cash would be available right away.
