This morning on The Call @ Hedgeye, REITs analyst Rob Simone pulled no punches calling out shady/suspicious behavior in the C-suite at Medical Properties Trust (MPW).

“If I was a shareholder, I would be very concerned of this arrangement,” said Simone.

“It’s optically terrible. It’s gross. If you are an analyst covering this company, and have access to management, you should be asking them about this. Because this is the type of stuff that makes headlines on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.”
