That's correct. Remember, though, that the stock price will adjust downward by the amount of the dividend when the stock goes ex-dividend.

yep. you've borrowed it, so the original owner gets the dividend, and someone has to pay the guy u sold it to for the short.

on the other hand, the dividend doesn't come around until after november, since that's when the vote is.
