I wouldn't advise that. The price will already be at a premium the day before. I will continue to hold this thru div date as long as the price doesn't get too ahead of itself. If there is a say a 20% or 30% spike before div, your kind of forced to flip it. As long as I am profiting, I will do it either way.

No one in their right mind would be short this stock, but I guess insanity is ruling the day. If someone is short a stock, and that stock pays a dividend, that dividend is coughed up by... you guessed it... the short seller.

So, not only does the short seller get to have nightmares about a short squeeze, they also get the final ignominy of coughing up real C A $ H on the spot to pay the dividend to whomever loaned them the shares they've shorted.

Gonna be fun the next couple weeks.....
