bb: "Divvies have always been paid to shorts but they don't get the divvy tax break if there is one."
Puzzling. Lemmie see now. The shorters have to borrow those shares, right? I always thought that the shorters owed the dividends to those who owned those shorted shares, not received them, themselves. Oh, well. Learn something new every day. Thanks, BB, this is a great help for me. Between you and PB3, how can I go wrong?
By the way, where are my NOVC dividends? Must check my portfolio statements, I must. So much to do, so little time......
