1. A cat on Ashe Street used up one of its nine lives recently when he was stuck in a house fire. The Mooresville firefighters rescued the cat from the burning home early Wednesday morning and reportedly performed lifesaving measures on the pet. The cat was taken to a veterinary hospital, where it is being treated for burns and smoke inhalation, according to a news release from Mooresville Fire-Rescue. According to the Mooresville Tribune, "the release indicated that around 5:02 a.m. Wednesday, firefighters responded to a report of a fire on Ashe Street. Mooresville Fire-Rescue Engine 1 was first to arrive to locate a single-wide mobile home with heavy smoke coming from the residence. Engine 1’s crew was able to make entry and extinguished the fire.

Are you a Mooresville 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)
