REITs vs Stocks daily update – September 23, 2021

Thursday closes with another consecutive day of gains reclaiming the losses from Monday. Uncertainty had been building around the path of the economy and the Fed instilled some confidence into markets yesterday (article). There are still concerns around unemployment claims increasing from last week, putting the question as to whether our economy will recovery as the Fed says it will. In the meantime, this however isn’t affect the stock market for now.

How this affects our $1000 investment in Wealthfront  – our Wealthfront stocks are still below our initial investment at $998.29, but had an $11.96 daily increase. Stocks win over REITs today, but overall, the running total balance of $1007.68, still much higher than stocks.

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.
