Mortgage real estate investment trusts (REITs) have enjoyed a stunning three-month run for an obscure, underfollowed corner of finance. They are up 22% since mid-February, buoyed by stronger credit markets, a Federal Reserve that seems likely to keep rates lower for longer, and a nod from bond king Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital at a recent hedge fund conference.
