Content Data

This page contains data entry 26001 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

Shorting a stock means borrowing it from someone who holds it, then selling it. If they hadn't lent you the stock, they would have collected the dividend. Do you think they just forego the dividend out of the goodness of their heart? No. You short through the dividend, you owe the dividend.

And, again, you don't get the 85c for free. You buy a share, you get the dividend, the share falls by the amount of the dividend. You made zero money.

You make money from dividends by holding for an extended period of time. The price falls by the amount of the dividend as soon as it's paid, but it rises by the amount of the dividend over the period until the next dividend is paid. Assuming the dividend is sustainable, the price remains stable long term, and your return is the amount of the dividends you collected.

But just to be *abundantly clear*: if you buy this stock now, then sell after the dividend, the only return you make is the net movement in the stock after accounting for the dividend.
