When you borrow the stocks to short it, the person (or broker) you borrowed them from is the beneficiary of the dividend payout. If you did your due diligence you would worry about the dividend payout since your profit will be in the poor performance of the stock you shorted. If you think about it, you did only "borrow" them from the owner of the stock. Hi Rob, Thanks for the question.

Kindly explain this point.
