Liz Peek Schools the New York Times on Trump's "Madman" Strategy — and It's Not Even Close

Liz appeared on Fox Business to dismantle a New York Times piece questioning Trump's mental fitness. She argued Trump's over-the-top rhetoric is a deliberate diplomatic tool — the "madman theory" — not evidence of instability. Iran went to the negotiating table shortly after his threat. Nixon and Eisenhower used the same playbook. It worked then too.

CNBC says investors have "nowhere to hide." But one exclusive platform just posted a 22.9% net return. Here's how to get in.

Despite an exciting bull run, gold fell 25% from its January peak.

Bloomberg's Marcus Ashworth said it this week: "No more reliable safe havens."

But Masterworks has been offering fractional investments well outside the norm. Typically those exclusive to the ultra-wealthy.

One of those was an Elizabeth Peyton painting. Total net return to hundreds of their members: 22.9%. Typically 3-10 years, this rare turnaround took just a few weeks.

That's sale number 27. Net annualized returns on sales like 14.6%, 17.6%, 17.8%.

So, despite macro turmoil, the art market has been trending up.

U.S. auction sales jumped 23.1% last year. The $1mm-$5mm segment grew 40.8% in value.

Few people know this. But postwar and contemporary art grew 10.2% annually with near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 over the last 30 years.*

Masterworks lets you invest in shares of works featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

70,000+ members. $1.3 billion across 525+ works.
