RE:You Don't Short a Dividend Paying Stock.
"Granger is was short" ??? I did watch the show when it aired. Granger NEVER mentioned being short on the stock. If you take the time to look at all his recommendations, you will quickly find that he does recommend to buy some energy stocks such as Birchcliff, Crew, Granite, Peyto, Parex, Rock, etc...
His rating on NBZ is not a "Sell" but a "Dont Buy". The guy is entitled to his opinion.
In the meantime I repurchased today the 3,000 shares I had sold earlier this month - for about $1,000 less than I sold then (without missing a dividend!). Life is good.
