Let's say Mr. Shortie (Mr. S.) sold 1,000 ZIM Shares one or two months ago at $20.00 to Ms. Longstocking (Ms. L.) who purchased those with $20,000 which was transferred from her Brokerage account to Mr. S.'s Brokerage account. Let's assume Mr. S. borrowed those shares from a long-time ZIM Shareholder Mr. Longtimer, (Mr. LT.). In a few days two people are expecting to receive $6.40 Dividend from ZIM into their account, with a deduction of $1.60 in whtax for a Net Cash Credit to each of their Brokerage accounts of $4.80 per ZIM share. In real dollars, Ms. L will receive $4,800 and Mr. LT will receive $4,800. The problem as I see it is very soon, two ZIM shareholders are expecting the same Dividend on the same ZIM shares. So Mr. S. is gambling that he can (a) buy 1,000 Shares from the market before Dividend payment date to close out his position, to which he would also be entitled to receive the $4.80 from his Due Bill funds and then be able to pass them on to Ms. L to ensure she gets payment for her Dividend or (b) Wait till after Dividend Payment date and buy the 1,000 ZIM Shares to somehow make a profit when his $20,000 Cash less $4,800 he owes to Ms. L. on the Dividend shortfall less $200 in Brokerage interest costs, where he'll only have available Cash from his Short of say $15,000 and need to buy ZIM at less than $15.00 to make a profit. Very Risky if Mr. S. doesn't close out his Short Position this upcoming week. Good Luck I hope he loses his Shorts.$ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.(ZIM)$
