Mm-hmm, sure. So, what’s the catch?

We know it may sound too good to be true. But it’s not only possible, it’s happening—and thousands of investors are smiling all the way to the bank, thanks to the fine-art investing platform Masterworks.

These results aren’t cherry-picking. This is the whole bushel. Masterworks has built a track record of 8 exits, the last 3 realizing 10.4%, 35%, and 13.9% net returns even while financial markets plummeted.

But art? Really? Okay, skeptics, here are the numbers. Contemporary art prices:

  • Outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% over the last 26 years

  • Have the lowest correlation to equities of any asset class

  • Remained stable through the dot-com bubble and ’08 crisis

Tip of the day

In pickleball, the fourth shot is crucial and often overlooked.

When your opponent serves (first shot) and you return (second shot), the next ball they hit is the third shot. Your response is the fourth shot.

The goal is to maintain an advantage at the kitchen line, as being at the kitchen increases your chances of winning points.

When your opponent hits a third shot drop, you must decide whether to take it out of the air or let it bounce, and then whether to attack or concede based on the ball's trajectory.

Today’s video shows you exactly when and how you should each of those fourth shot variations!

Key Points:

  • If the third shot is a drive, block it back to the person who drove or go behind the anticipating opponent.

  • For third shot drops, decide to take out of the air or let bounce based on the ball trajectory.

  • If the ball is too good or too low, concede and reset with a dink.

  • Avoid popping the ball up as it gives opponents an easy smash.

  • The goal is to keep opponents back and make them earn their way to the kitchen.
