REITs vs Stocks daily update – Oct 5, 2021

The stock market jumped back up today recouping from yesterdays losses. Nasdaq rated up 1.3% and the technology stocks moved up as well. There are lingering concerns on the economy and the ongoing debate about the debt ceiling in Washington (article).

How this affects our $1000 investment in Wealthfront  – our Wealthfront stocks are still below our initial investment of 1000, currently at $982.76.  Although it improved a few dollars from yesterday, it’s still down from the bad month in September.

Today’s outcome is REITs win over Stocks, with a $1.00 growth in Fundrise and a $6.16 decline for Wealthfront. The running total balance of REITs is $1,122.86, which is a a substantial gap over stock market, $982.76.

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.
