What happens if someone sells the stock short before going ex-div and buy it on ex-div date. Everything else being same, will he end up making a profit equal to the dividend amount? I know it can't be that simple and there has to be some catch...

[quote=Bobus;95738]I asked you to check prior posts. Have ya? I dont know your college student profile and their identities to prove it wrong.

Yes. This might be a good time to buy if you have a time horizon of atleast a year and don't lose sleep over loosing 20-30 % of your investment.
