MPW looks interesting with nearly 9% dividend
Started Jun 02 at 3:59 ET (By ITGURU)
MPW is a reit specializing in acquiring and leasing medical facilities. They have had outstanding growth since their inception in 2005 and at current pricing offers a dividend of nearly 9%. This looks like a good oportunity to take advantage of the expected growth in healthcare over the coming years due to the aging booms, and to leverage real estate during a down cycle. I',m going in for 2.5% of portfolio and may add to position over time pending performance

MPW dividend is great but their chart looks a bit shaky.. Then again, it's the beat up companies that have the big opportunities in them. I'm playing the health care game with AMED.. so far, so good. It's too small cap for me these days but will definitely keep an eye on it.

I am not smart enough to buy this stock. When corporate structures start to get complicated, I started to get nervous. Can anyone explain why they do this (from Reuters): The Company conducts all of its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. and MPT Development Services, Inc.
An answer like "tax advantages" is no good. Can someone who knows the real answer actually explain the mechanisms by which these structures help shareholders? Pros AND cons. . .

I can explain it - they are screwing you! hahah
I too try to stay away from business structures I don't understand, don't hold any conglomerates for that exact reason.
