By REITs vs Stocks daily update – September 21, 2021
Concerns still brew around China’s Evergrande with risk of default and it affecting the rest of the global markets. The S&P 500 was up but ended down, and Nasdaq has minimal gains (article). People are still waiting on the outcome of the Fed happening on Wednesday and that will affect how tomorrow goes for the stock market.
How this affects our $1000 investment in Wealthfront –today, we are saw a slight increase at $2.98. Our Wealthfront stocks are still below our initial investment at $981.61. REITs win over stocks with a larger than normal increase of $1.05, but a running total balance of $1007.56, nearly $26 dollars over stocks.
