BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Move over, momentum. The stocks that no one thought would do anything in 2014 are the ones raking in the biggest gains this year. And real estate investment trusts, or REITs, have been one of the biggest winners since the calendar flipped to January.

Since the start of the year, the S&P 500 has dropped 1%, while the Dow Jones Equity All REIT Index, a basket of all publicly traded U.S. REITs, is actually up more than 7.5% over the same stretch.
That's not hugely surprising. Despite some overtures to the contrary, the Fed remains hugely accommodative right now, and rate-sensitive stocks such as REITs are benefiting as cash moves from 2013's big momentum equities to income names. Don't worry if you missed the move in this sector. Right now, there are some attractive trading setups shaping up in some of the biggest REITs once again.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alan Brochstein]
I actually spoke with Mr. Tim Matula, who is a former director and also handled investor relations for Diamond Ranch Foods (the predecessor company). Mr. Matula is also a long-time director at Nuvilex (NVLX.PK), which I recently suggested is an overly promoted stock exhibiting several of the signs about which FINRA has been warning investors (more on this later). Matula answered the phone number included on recent press releases by PLPL - I was expecting to hear an answering machine, as my call was in the late evening. He explained that he was no longer involved with the company due to having too many time-constraints. He also explained his sale of 4.9mm shares back to the company at $0.025 on February 7th, suggesting an open market sale would have been impossible. Note that PLPL has never traded below $0.04, so I found this curious. It was Matula who passed me along to Shane Traveller. He also told me that he is the brother of Tom Matula, the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board (more later).

The biggest thing to watch on Tuesday is the March result from the Case-Shiller home-price index. Both home prices and sales volumes have continued to improve this year, with the most recent data showing that new-home sales were up last month by 29% over 2012. Consequently, reinforcement from the highly watched Case-Shiller index, which tracks housing values in 20 cities around the country, will likely fuel shares of homebuilders like Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL ) and other businesses that look to the sector for growth such as Home Depot (NYSE: HD ) .
