RE:ShortsPlease if you can clarify the game; The short sellers are selling, so they do not have to pay the Dividend driving the price down and at the same time buying it back to earn the Dividend. They only need to hold the stock until the end of day to earn the Dividend . Tomorrow they can sell and short the stock again driving the price down .. if anyone can help me out , what is it that I am missing... .. much appreciated.
