Position

1800.70 Shares MPW @ $10.85 – Dividend 5.5%(Yearly)

(Pays 15¢ Quarterly Dividend – 60¢ Yearly)

 

I first started investing in Medical Properties Trust Inc (MPW)  in December of 2022, I bought 400 shares on 12/20/22 @ $10.95. The dividend was 29¢ per quarter, which is 10.6% per year. On 1/27/23 I bought 500 shares of MPW @ $12.48 per share. There was some good reports coming out on this trust fund and I bought another 500 shares on 1/31/23. At this point I had bought 1400 shares.

Most additional shares purchase after these original 1400 shares were bought with dividends, Call Premiums from selling Call Options on my MPW shares, and Call Premiums from selling Call Options on other stocks. All my shares, and information on how I acquired them, are listed below.

The last time I bought shares with money out of my account was on 8/9/23 when I bought 65 shares to give me a total of 1800 shares.

On 8/21/23 the stock reduced their dividend from 29¢ to 15¢ which was very disappointing but expected because the company made some bad investments and the stock dropped. I now own 1800.70 shares at an average price of $10.85. The dividend is still 15¢ per quarter which, for me, is 5.5% annually. Not what I signed up for but 5.5% is still not bad.

I no longer reinvest my dividends from MPW into MPW stock. I take the quarterly dividend and invest it in another one of my high dividend stocks.

With this MPW position of 1800 shares at 5.5% I will receive $1080 per year in dividends.
