Investing in high-yielding dividend stocks like Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW) can provide more dividend income compared to low-yielding stocks. With MPT's 12.4% yield, owning about 1,670 shares would generate $1,000 in annual dividend income, requiring an investment of over $8,000. However, caution is advised as MPT reduced its dividend last year and faced challenges with a key tenant. Despite the high dividend, investors should closely monitor the stock's performance due to negative total returns in the past five years.
