Re: FGP financials & $2 Divy??\\

Still happy with my AOD, AWP, EBI, NRO. EOG, IGD, IGR, BWC etc etc.\\
think they are better long term investments with growth and good income...better diversity...and most pay you monthly. Also like SNH and HCN due to the baby boomers needing the services more and more for decades to come.

It depends on what part of the country you are in how competitive FGP is in the local market. FGP pays dividends out of cash flow. Check cash flow out first.

Also (may not be accurate due to faulty memory) seems that I remember something that management gets paid last...after dividends to unit holders. ...so no bonus for them if dividend not paid or cut backed. In the sub notes somewhere.

Still like the funds and REITS better....at least while they remain sold off and cheap at the current prices.
