DIVIDEND SELLING
Act of a dishonest broker convincing a client to acquire a stock because it is the time of paying a dividend. In this false recommendation, the broker pretends it is for the client’s best interest since the dividend will reap instant returns for the client. But the trade will be for the broker’s benefit because of the commissions he will receive. Once a stock is trading ex-dividend, its price declines by the amount of the dividend and the investors won’t come out ahead.
