Here are three of the top stories today in San Diego:

1. Fireworks panic dozens of dogs around San Diego each year. The noise terrifies them, and many dogs run away from home and end up in shelters. San Diego County Government urges pet owners to secure their pets and keep them calm during fireworks. Keep your pet in a location away from open windows and do what you can to drown out the noise.

From our sponsor:

Are you a San Diego resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)
