Down in the $8 region. Most of its history has been in the $20. 15% dividend. Seeking Alpha screams buy as does Wall Street.

I own some of this. Bought in the teens and thought I was doing great when it was at $23 or so. They’ve been hit with some bad press and short interest recently. Maybe a problem with one of their major lessees? They own medical facilities and lease them back I think.
May be worth buying some at this price. But I’d be careful and wouldn’t go all in without a lot of research and understanding about their prospects.

Cell tower reits do better

I’ve got 450 shares at around $12. I’m buying more, especially if it goes to $7. Commercial real estate is generally in trouble but medical facilities will always be rented. MPW sold some assets but is still healthy (see what I did there).

Medical is usually the closest thing to recession proof. The only time I've seen medical industries take a big hit was when Hillary was pushing Hillary-care.

I own it so it could go to zero.

Own OHI instead. Seems to have held up better than this one.

I'm still nibbling at it.

I’ve been buying the last month or so. Cost basis of $8.35.
A little riskier, but I think they will be able to maintain dividend. Once this cycle ends I think they will still be standing and we will look back at this price as a nice opportunity.

Wrong. Clinics are struggling. Hospitals are struggling. We haven't had a increase in re-imbursement in about 16-17 years. We've lost 30% or more to inflation in the last 20. As pay increases in other sectors, medicine has been frozen in time for almost two decades. People have no clue how bad the situation is and is going to be without some drastic change.
From someone that owns two very successful businesses in the medical field, I can assure you that medical is no longer recession proof. At least at the provider level that would be renting these spaces. It's going to be hard to keep the facilities filled and be able to raise rents/leases if there is no profit. Just something to think about.

All of this is true. Do you think they are trying to make it fail so we can switch to socialized medicine?

Or some hybrid of it that allows those with money to still have access to high quality care. It's been pretty obvious for awhile. Corporate medicine will dictate who gets what.

Most of my medical experience was on the video side producing CME's, patient ed, mode of actions and promos mostly financed by big pharma along with some patent disputes and liability cases. It was pretty much recession proof, but not Washington proof. In those terms, the problems might stem from the same place.

Price at $6.75. I've been reinvesting dividends and am at a 50% unrealized loss. I've held for 10 years. Purchased in 2013.
This sucks.
I see they cut the dividend in half today.

At least the band aid has been ripped off now.
