5 Mid Caps for Momentum Investors

Today I wanted to find 5 Mid Cap stocks that would be of interest to Momentum Investors.  I used Barchart to sort the S&P 400 Mid Cap Index stocks first for the most frequent number of new highs in the last month, then again for technical buy signals of 80% or more.  It just so happened that the best 5 were all REITs.  Today's Watch List includes:

Healthcare Realty Trusts (HR), Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI), Duke Realty (DRE), Medical Properties Trust (MPW) and Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH).
