REITs vs Stocks daily update – August 31, 2021

Stocks increased today $1.95 today, while REITs had small growth of 7 cents. The US economy is starting to strengthen this half of 2021 with lots of optimism which is driving the stock price up. This isn’t always steady as we’ve seen a few weeks ago that drove our stock down. For now, we can enjoy the stock growth we’re seeing with our Wealthfront Stock funds @ $1011.61 vs $1004.47. Stocks win over REITs today! It’s aggregate is higher than REITs and daily growth is larger. We will see how this changes as REITs are still in the ramp up phase of property accumulation.

TLDR; What’s this all about? I invested $1000 in both REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust) and the Stock Market, and now it’s a challenge to seeing which one will perform better in the next 5 years. You can read the start here.
