Today's animal spirits is brought to you by Masterworks Ben. I am at the dashboard with all the

offerings. You see what I'm saying? Yes. Just poking around, looking at the art. I see this

glen like on this, this is a painting. It's called The Stranger. What are your thoughts?

It really speaks to me. It speaks to me. Listen, I don't think we pretend to understand art in

many ways, but this one is a solid color. Well, is it known? Click it. At first blush, it appears

to be solid black. But you see what's going on here? You said it. No, explain it to that, my friend.

That's art. I can't explain it. If you don't say it, I can't explain it. Okay. Art is like

crypto in some ways. It speaks to some people, not other people. It makes a lot of sense. Here's

the best part about Masterworks. This year, especially, nothing's going down. Has anything in your

portfolio and Masterworks gone down? No, here's what I love about this. You could click on the

deal sheet and Ben, since you don't know what you're looking at, let me just explain it to you.

This painting is a characteristic example of glen like going to textbook. Say this is textbook Ben.

I'm sorry. I miss red. It's not textbook. It's text-based. This is a text-based work which explores

the themes related to authorship, history, and identity. Well, the good news is Masterworks actually

picks out the painters and the paintings for you, so you don't have to do it. They hand select them

ahead of time, and then you get to invest in which ones you want to do. So go to masterworks.io,
