The customer sells 100 shares of stock realizing the sum of #1000 after taxes and commissions. On the same day he asks the broker to pay him from the account the sum of $450. Would this combination of transactions effected on the same day result in a net withdrawal from the account under section 4(d) of the Regulation? The net effect of such a combination of transactions made on the same day would be a "net withdrawal" as defined in section 2(l) of Regulation T, since there would occur a payment from the account of money ($450) and delivery of registered securities having an aggregate current market value ($1000), together exceeding the amount of money ($1000) paid into the account on the same day.
