In theory, perhaps. But there are several factors to consider. Can one =
cover at the x-div price? Will there even be an x-div price in a rising =
market (whether short or long term)? Will the short seller even be =
paying attention to x-div information?
All of these are imponderables; what is a certainty is that the short =
seller must cover the dividends. Personally, with so many non-dividend =
paying short candidates, why bother with stocks that carry a dividend?
