But, are the shorts overdone? We're going to delve into Viceroy's accusations and evaluate how much Medical Properties stock an investor would need to hold to generate a monthly dividend income of $500, with MPW's dividend yield currently standing at 13.72%.
但是，短褲過分了嗎？我們將深入研究總督的指控，評估投資者需要持有多少Medical Properties股票才能產生500美元的月股息收入，而MPW的股息收益率目前爲13.72％。
Allegations and Risk Factors: Viceroy's report accuses MPW of engaging in a revenue round-robin scheme and/or theft through billions of dollars' worth of uncommercial transactions with distressed tenants and their management teams.
指控和風險因素： 總督的報告指責公共工程部參與收入循環計劃和/或通過與陷入困境的租戶及其管理團隊進行價值數十億美元的非商業交易進行盜竊。
The report further alleges that MPW's assets are massively overstated as a result of capitalizing the transactions, exposing the company to significant credit risk and the potential for dividend cuts. The findings highlight the distress of MPW's major tenants and their intertwined relationship with the company.

What about the dividend yield? To determine how much Medical Properties stock an investor would need to own in order to yield $500 per month in dividends, we can start by calculating the annual dividend income required: $500 x 12 months = $6,000.
那股息收益率呢？要確定投資者需要擁有多少Medical Properties股票才能每月產生500美元的股息，我們可以先計算所需的年度股息收入：500美元x12個月=6,000美元。
Next, divide the amount by the 13.72% dividend yield: $6,000 / 0.1372 = $43,731.77.
接下來，將該金額除以13.72％的股息收益率：6,000美元/0.1372 = 43,731.77美元。
This means that an investor would need to own approximately $43,731.77 worth of Medical Properties stock, or 5,769 shares, to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
請注意，股息收益率可能會滾動變化，因爲股息支付和股票價格都會隨着時間的推移而波動。
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
股息收益率的計算方法是將年度股息支付額除以當前股價。隨着股價的變化，股息收益率也將發生變化。
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
例如，如果一隻股票的年度股息爲2美元，其當前價格爲50美元，則其股息收益率將爲4％。但是，如果股價上漲至60美元，股息收益率將降至3.33％（2美元/60美元）。
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
相反，如果股價跌至40美元，股息收益率將增加到5％（2美元/40美元）。
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.

此外，股息支付本身也可能隨着時間的推移而發生變化，這也可能影響股息收益率。如果公司增加股息支付，即使股價保持不變，股息收益率也會增加。同樣，如果公司減少股息支付，股息收益率將降低。
