REITs I agree that MPW is now overpriced, but I still own some. Actually almost all reits are overpriced right now. One simple thing to look at is Price/FFO. I used to do a lot of studying of Yield vs. Payout Ratio -- graphs and mathematical analysis. It has served me well. But then, silly me, I realized that when you get down to it, Payout Ratio / Yield is equal to Price / FFO. 1. Payout Ratio = Dividend / FFO 2. Yield = Dividend / Price So Payout Ratio / Yield = Price / FFO. So, among other things, look for a high yield and a nice low Price/FFO. Four particularly good REITs right now are FR HPT HRP SUI. I check around 80 reits every few months, looking for deals. cheers, grommit
