Short selling
Short selling
I have never done short selling before. Just wanted to confirm the following:
If a company is paying a special dividend ($5, aboout 40%), lets say pay date for the stock is 19 December, would it be a safe/good bet to short the stock on 18 and make a decent profit (about $5 per stock) by getting out of it on the 19? If this is the case, sounds to good to be true..
Any suggestions on the stuff and something that I should look for?
Thanks
Dtoor
