"Steer Clear of This Stock When Seeking Reliable Dividend Stocks in the New Bull Market"

In the new bull market, dividend investors are seeking reliable income streams, but should be cautious of struggling dividend-paying businesses like Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW). The company's unmanageable debt load, declining cash from operations, and ongoing troubles with its largest tenant raise concerns about its ability to deliver consistent cash to shareholders. Additionally, questionable management decisions and communication further erode confidence in the stock. Despite a tempting dividend yield, investors are advised to avoid buying shares of this company and consider other investment opportunities.
