This came on my radar about 3 weeks ago. I did a day trade sometime in middle to late March for which retiredat48 justly admonished me Around the first of April I bought some shares and am in at $4.58 average. Yep it closed just under $3.99 Friday This REIT got themselves in a whole lot of trouble when one tenant was unable to pay its rent - that situation is still in the stages of a work out. I woke up this morning to the news that they had sold their majority stakes in five hospitals in Utah and had declared a $0.15 quarterly dividend, all after the close. This thing is heavily shorted at 35%. At the current trading volume it would take 10.7 days to cover. This dividend is not going to be good news for them. Just coming clean that I have been playing this bet on the stock market. I don't normally make these plays any more; but, I just could not help myself on this one. All that said Monday might be a bit interesting. Please don't judge me too harshly. I needed just a little spice in my life and have a very small position here.

More information on the sale. MPW owned about a 75% stake in the 5 hospitals at a cost of $886 million. They retained about a 25% interest in the same - selling about a 50% interest. Interest is sold to a multi-billion dollar institutional asset manager with proven track record in RE Investment (no disclosure yet of who this might be) MPW is receiving $1.1 billion from the sale - Sale Proceeds of 50% interest ($910 million) and new loan proceeds from refi of the 5 hospitals ($190 million) I calculate a $319 million profit on the sale ($910 million - $591 million (2/3 of $886 million)) Company New Release
