What happens if XYZ declare a $.20 dividend with a record date of June 1. I buy 1000 shares May 20 and short 1000 at the same time. I believe that I receive a $200 dividend for my long position, but pay the owner of the borrowed shares shorted $200. If I am wrong, and I do not have indemnify the owner of the borrowed shares for his lost dividend, this would be a great little dividend capture strategy. Am I correct that this strategy won't work?
