Another thing about dividends. Shorts have to pay dividends to the longs that they are borrowing from. I don't know how that is possible with a stock dividend, especially a private issue that has an unknown value. I do know that I have seen big pops before major dividends, as shorts cover to avoid paying dividends. I am not sure how this would affect naked shorts? Does anyone know? Do they have to cover?
