By REITs vs Stocks daily update – September 13, 2021
After a week long streak of declines for the stock market, today recorded gains. There’s still negative sentiment that the stock market is at it’s peak and people are predicting a 10% loss. (article)
How this affects our $1000 investment in Wealthfront –today we recovered and gained $3.67 while REITs had a growth of 18 cents. With the recovery from the market, Stocks win over REITs today – Wealthfront is now $1006.67 vs Fundrise at $1006.18 in total. These two funds are still very close to each other after over a month of opening.
