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

This is the company:
