It's not like you have to spend the cash the very same second it arrivers on your brokerage account.
But that's no fun!
I do agree, whenever I throw cash into my brokerage account I want to spend it. The faster it gets invested, the sooner it will start paying dividends. But a day or two doesn't make any difference unless the ex-div date falls there... so while I tend to use that money fast (I hold my cash reserves on another account) I don't mind waiting for a while to take advantage of these small dips.
