  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?

    Someone mentioned about short sellers having to pay dividends, =
wouldn't stock price trading down at x-dividend date take care of this =
to a certain degree, so the net effect would be nil (assuming one covers =
that same day?)
