Theoretically, if there weren't enough stock for the alleged "Shorty" to cover his position, there'd be a short squeeze. When a company issued a dividend, anyone who's short on the ex date has to buy enough stock to provide the divvy to the person from whom he borrowed the stock.

But as far as I know, that's never worked for anything other than a cash divvy.
