<<It's paying $1.50 as a dividend and it closed today at 15.70.>>

Is it really still paying that or is that just what it has paid over the last 12 months? Don't REIT's just pay out a percentage (95% I think) of net on an ongoing basis?

Edit -- Perhaps a better way to ask this might be to posit whether the current large yield is more likely an indication that the market expects the dividend (and-or the stock price) to decline in relation to the stock price?

Obviously, the COB thinks the yield looks pretty good for around $17M - $18M of his money, even though he seems to have dropped a couple million of pocket change over the last few weeks.
