First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the p.m.. High: 93 Low: 65.

Here are the top three stories today in Catonsville:

1. This past Wednesday, an expert panel of advisers for the Food and Drug Administration said that the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are now safe for kids younger than age five. The FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still need to authorize the vaccine before being administered to Maryland children. (Catonsville Patch)

Are you a Catonsville 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% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
