"I feel complete," Chery said via news release. "I feel great. After my four years on this track team, I can finally say I've done something special. We knew what was at stake being state champions in the past, so being able to come together and bring another state championship back to Huntington feels amazing. After being in the bottom half of the podium last winter, it felt good to be on the top of the podium this time." (Huntington Patch)

Are you a Huntington 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)

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