I sold some stocks recently but I haven't withdrawn the money from my brokerage account. I'm wondering what would happen to the funds if I leave them there. Will they automatically be reinvested or will they just sit in my account?

The withdrawal of funds from your account after selling the stock also doesn't impact your tax liability.
