2. Gas prices are on the rise throughout the Carolinas, but what may be more concerning is that there is a shortage of diesel fuel. This shortfall could impact the cost of everything! Truckers are worried. (WBTW)
3. The town of Mooresville congratulates retiring Sanitation Equipment Operator II, Bobby Torrence, who has had a 21.5-year career with the town. Torrence has worked in every position in the Sanitation Department and mentored many of his fellow employees. Best wishes Bobby! (Facebook)

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)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Mooresville Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
