XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before August 10, 1999 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend two business days before the record date.

What is Short Selling
Short selling is the sale of stock borrowed from a broker
It is a strategy often used when a buyer believes a particular stock will go down in value.

Short Selling
A short seller believes a particular stock’s price will drop and enable him/her to repay the borrowed shares with lower-priced ones.
The difference in the price between when the stock was borrowed from the broker and when it was repaid would be the short seller’s gain.
![Page 116: © South-Western Educational Publishing Chapter 12 Investing in Stocks Evaluating Stocks Buying and Selling Stock](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d825503460f94a67939/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
© South-Western Educational Publishing
If the stock’s price rises, however, a short-seller will lose money because the borrowed shares will be repaid with higher-priced ones.

Example
if an investor borrows 100 shares of a particular stock from a broker at $10.00 a share , selling it on the market at that price, the investor sees the stock drop to $5.00 a share and buys the 100 shares from the market to repay the broker making a $5.00 per share profit.

This can be a risky transaction; if the shares go up to $15.00 per share the investor will lose $5.00 per share and needs to use cash to buy back the shares.
