Morning rain. High: 50 Low: 45.

Here are the top three stories in Miller Place-Rocky Point today:

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Miller Place-Rocky Point resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Miller Place-Rocky Point residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

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)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
