RE: Medical Properties Trust, Inc.(NYSE: MPW)

Sold some October $10 covered calls to lock in some recent gains and the next dividend payment. I may be giving away some of the potential upside but if the stock is called away, it becomes a source of funds for other compelling buys.

==================================================================
I just discovered an interesting new feature on Yahoo Finance. At the bottom of the Summary screen, this line appears "People viewing MPW also viewed: NLY HCN PWE WIN HCP CIM".

You can now see the other top users "views" for the stock symbol you are currently viewing. Many of these "viewed" stocks have the same characteristics as the stock I am currently viewing.

With the DOW down around 175, I got a few fills.

In for more MPW.

A dollop more of TOT and GMXR. More WRLD.

I'll make a speculative bet on YHOO for a few shares. My first entrance into this stock.

Sorry I've not followed you into the LXP common, Grommit. I may yet.

When preferred stocks are bought cheap, and IF they recover, they can really work out well, sometimes, it seems.
I'll exit my few shares of the 7.75% LXP'd's now, and just leave the upcoming dividend for the buyer. This pfd's at $24.26/sh. now; I'm in since 11/'08 at $6.59/sh.
