Hi Captain Jack, Your wish has come true. You could have bought MT at 9 1/2 today. In one of your messages you mentioned that PM downgraded MT because of uncertainty in health care. Actually the PW analyst downgraded MT because of doubts in the performance of the hotel chain, La Quinta. Still the dividend seems secure since as a REIT they must payout 95% of earnings.

I have heard it mentioned that there has been heavy insider buying in MT. Do you know of any way to verify this?

I might mention that another stock which is sort of like MT is ETT. The big difference is that unlike MT, ETT only owns the nursing home real estate and rents it out to the health care providers. ETT is also is about 9 with a div of about 15%.

I own both and am wondering which one is the better buy at this point.
