Yes, this platform’s 77% return is an outlier – but the rest may surprise you

The news is true: Masterworks’ 15th sale just weeks ago returned an impressive 77% to investors. While such a high return is an outlier for the blue-chip art investing platform, you might be wondering what their prior sales delivered. Glad you asked… 

Every one of their sales has returned a profit to investors, with 13 of them delivering double-digit returns, and 1 delivering triple-digit annualized returns. 

In full, Masterworks has over 300 paintings and their 16 exits have delivered: 32%, 39.3%, 36.2%, 27.3%, 9.2%, 33.1%, 21.5%, 17.8%, 13.9%, 35%, 10.4%, 325.5%, 4.1%, 17.6%, 13.4% and 77.3%, net annualized returns*. 

Every sale but one outperformed the stock market in the period from when it was offered to when it was sold. 

With performance like that, offerings on the platform can sell out in minutes. However, readers can skip the waitlist to join with this exclusive link.

^{MACRO-ECONOMIC INSIGHTS}

Rates = Higher For Longer

High Yields in the Stock Market:

A 5% yield in the stock market can be considered relatively high, especially in a low-interest-rate environment. Yields on individual stocks can vary widely based on factors such as the company's industry, financial health, and dividend policy. Generally, investors seeking income often find yields in the 2-4% range for many well-established dividend-paying stocks. Yields above 5% may indicate that the stock carries higher risks or that the company distributes a significant portion of its earnings as dividends.

However, it's important to note that the concept of a "high yield" can change over time and is relative to prevailing interest rates and economic conditions. What's considered high today might be viewed differently in a different economic environment.

ARE RATES HIGH?

The perception of a "high" yield can vary based on historical context and prevailing interest rates. In today's low-interest-rate environment, a 5% yield on an investment may be considered relatively high. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have implemented policies to keep interest rates low in recent years.

However, when comparing yields to historical data, particularly going back to the 1990s or earlier, a 5% yield may be considered low. In the past, interest rates and bond yields were generally higher than today's.

Long-Term Economic Outlook: Housing Market and Debt Payers:

The long-term outlook for the housing market and debt payers depends on various factors, including economic conditions, interest rates, and government policies. Historically, real estate has shown resilience and tends to appreciate over the long run. However, regional variations exist, and local economic factors can influence housing market stability.

As for debt payers, their ability to manage debt largely depends on factors like employment opportunities, income levels, and access to credit. High debt levels can be manageable if borrowers have a stable income and can make regular payments. Government interventions, such as debt relief programs, can also impact the ability of debtors to manage their obligations.

The Federal Reserve and Debt:

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) borrows money primarily by issuing U.S. Treasury securities, such as Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, through a process known as open market operations. The Fed borrows money from the public or financial institutions when it buys these securities. Conversely, when the Fed sells these securities, it withdraws money from circulation, effectively paying back its borrowings.

Here's how this process works:

1. Borrowing Money: When the Fed buys Treasury securities in the open market, it injects money into the financial system. This can help stimulate economic activity by lowering interest rates and increasing the money supply.

2. Paying Back Borrowings: When the Fed sells Treasury securities in the open market, it withdraws money from the financial system. This is effectively a way of "paying back" the money it had previously borrowed.

The key point to understand is that the Fed doesn't borrow money in the same way that individuals, businesses, or the government do. It has the unique ability to create and destroy money in the economy through its open market operations. Also, the interest rates on the Treasury securities it holds are typically lower than the rates it pays on reserves held by banks.

The sustainability of its actions depends on economic conditions; currently, they have their hands full.

TRADING LEVELS

For lower levels like 4180-4200, levels like 4250 need to give in. If this occurs and $tsla trades under 240 this can lead to extreme volatility.

Any upside movement can be capped at 4430-50 in the short-term.
