| | Why are high net worth investors flooding this app to prepare for the “Decade of Lost Wealth”?
Dear reader,
The near-zero interest-rate and sub-2% inflation that fed the record bull market of the last ten years are gone. In their place, volatility may rule the next decade.
In times like these, one thing some Ultra-high-net-worth investors may be doing is increasing their exposure to an asset class that’s outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% over the last 26 years: blue-chip art.
When inflation is this high, it has historically appreciated more than real estate, the S&P, even gold (according to the MW All Art Index).
Because one thing the Fed can’t print? More Picassos.
Deloitte expects this asset class to grow nearly 60% by 2026.
While the “barrier to entry” on high-growth art has been steep – each piece often fetching millions …
We’ve just found a smart way for everyday investors to get in: Masterworks.
Masterworks is an easy-to-use investment app that’s allowed over 500,000 users into this asset class formerly reserved just for UHNWIs.
While some may be panic-selling equities at double-digit losses, the last 6 of Masterworks’ 7 strategic exits have given investors over 21% returns.
With record demand, there’s a waitlist to join.
But today, our readers can completely skip it with this exclusive referral link.
P.S. Don’t wait to start investing to hedge against inflation.
Masterworks’ proprietary technology is designed to select investment-grade pieces with profit potential.
Banksy … Picasso … Basquiat … Warhol. The upside potential is impressive, and this asset has the lowest correlation to any other financial market. Skip the waitlist and gain access to fractional investing starting today.

Leaving off where Season 3 ended, Ross is in the hallway between two bedrooms. One is the room he is sharing with Bonnie; the other, Rachel's room. He picks a door – and finds both Rachel and Bonnie sitting on Rachel's bed. Bonnie's bald head got sunburned, so Rachel is helping her rub some aloe on. After Bonnie leaves, Ross and Rachel kiss – and Ross leaves to break up with Bonnie. Rachel writes Ross a long letter ("Eighteen pages! Front and back!") about their relationship and asks him to read it – but he falls asleep while doing so. After he wakes up, Rachel asks him if he agrees with what she wrote. Ross says he does, and the two reconcile. He later finds the part in the letter she is asking about – for him to accept full responsibility for their breakup and sleeping with Chloe – and immediately disagrees with it, still stuck on the fact that she was the one who suggested they "were on a break." After Rachel goes on about how Ross is so great for accepting responsibility, Ross cannot hide his feelings anymore. He reveals he never finished the letter, and ends up criticizing her grammar before they angrily break up again. Phoebe is upset after Phoebe Abbott told her the truth about being her mother. Older Phoebe explains she was in a three-way sexual relationship with Lily and Frank, and after Frank (Phoebe's father) had gotten her pregnant, she was so young and scared and ultimately believed Ursula and younger Phoebe would be better off with Frank and Lily. An angry Phoebe declares she never wants to see her real mother again, and soon goes to Ursula's apartment to tell her about their mom – but Ursula already knows. She even produces a "suicide note" supposedly left by Lily – that Ursula herself writes while Phoebe is waiting in the hall. Phoebe Sr. comes into Central Perk to try and reconcile with Phoebe – who is not having any of it. Phoebe Sr. finally gets younger Phoebe to change her mind, by pointing out that she came to the beach looking for family – and found it. Phoebe then softens up to her birth mother upon finding out they have similar interests and they go off to have dinner together. While Chandler, Monica and Joey are enjoying the beach now that it has finally stopped raining, Chandler still tries to convince Monica he would make a great boyfriend. Chandler and Monica go check out Joey's hole – and Monica gets stung by a jellyfish. Joey, remembering a documentary he saw on jellyfish that mentions a cure for jellyfish stings – urine – and prompts Monica to try peeing on herself. After being uncomfortable around each other for a couple of days and refusing to talk about it afterwards, Joey, Chandler, and Monica reveal what happened after Monica got stung by the jellyfish. Monica tried to pee on her wound, but could not bend that way – so Joey stepped up. Unfortunately, Joey got stage fright – leaving Chandler to do the dirty work. At the end of the episode, Chandler again asks why Monica will not consider going out with him. She says that while she thinks he is a great guy, he will always be "the guy who peed on me." |

| The 1963–64 season was Gillingham's 32nd season playing in the Football League and the 14th since the club was elected back into the League in 1950 after being voted out in 1938.[1] It was the club's sixth consecutive season in the Football League Fourth Division,[1] which had been created in 1958 when the parallel Third Division South and Third Division North were merged and reorganised into two national divisions at the third and fourth tiers of the English football league system.[2] Freddie Cox was the team's manager, a position he had held since June 1962;[3] in his first season in charge, Gillingham had finished 5th in the Fourth Division, a huge improvement over their 20th-place finish in the 1961–62 season.[4] Prior to the new season, the club signed Geoff Hudson, a 31-year-old full-back with well over a decade of Football League experience, from Crewe Alexandra.[5] Cox also signed three young players from Portsmouth, all of whom he knew from his time managing that club until 1961: Rod Taylor, a half-back aged 19, 21-year-old full-back Jimmy White, and Brian Yeo, a forward also aged 19.[6] Jimmy Boswell assisted Cox in the role of team trainer.[7] The team wore Gillingham's traditional blue shirts and white shorts, the only change in design from the previous season being the style of collar and the placement of the club badge on the shirt.[8] Redevelopment work took place at the club's home ground, Priestfield Stadium, between seasons as floodlights were installed for the first time, at a cost of £14,000 (equivalent to £310,000 in 2021).[9] The club had been one of the few in the Football League yet to install lights, which had become prevalent in English professional football since the mid-1950s, and when they were switched on for a game for the first time (September 1963) it made Gillingham the 89th out of 92 Football League clubs to play a home match under lights.[10] Gillingham's first two matches of the season were both at home to teams from the city of Bradford. The first took place on 24 August against Bradford (Park Avenue); Gordon Pulley scored Gillingham's first goal of the season and Brian Gibbs added a second to give the team a 2–0 victory.[11] Four days later, the team drew 0–0 with Bradford City; Gillingham were the only team in the Football League to concede no goals in their first two games of the season.[12] The game against Bradford City was the first of three consecutive draws for Gillingham in Fourth Division games as they were also held by Southport and Exeter City.[11] Following a win away to Bradford City and a draw away to Hartlepools United, Gillingham beat Lincoln City 1–0 on 18 September to go top of the league table on goal average.[11][13] Hudson scored the winner, the only goal he scored in more than 300 Football League matches.[14][15] At this point Gillingham had conceded only one goal in seven Fourth Division games.[13][16] The team concluded September with a victory over Darlington and a draw against Tranmere Rovers.[11] Gillingham began October with four consecutive victories, defeating Lincoln, Halifax Town, Carlisle United, and Doncaster Rovers. George Francis scored five goals in three games at the start of the month.[11] After 13 consecutive Fourth Division games without defeat, Gillingham lost for the first time on 15 October when they were beaten 3–1 by Carlisle; they were the final team in the Football League's four divisions to lose a game during the 1963–64 season.[17][18] The team won their next two matches without conceding a goal, but then lost two consecutive games without scoring one.[11] Despite the two defeats, Gillingham remained top of the Fourth Division at the end of October, one point ahead of Carlisle.[19] Gibbs was the team's top league goalscorer at this point in the season, his four goals in the month taking his total to eight.[11] Gillingham won three out of four matches in November and remained top of the division.[11][20] Gibbs scored five goals in three games, including two in a 3–1 win at home to Workington, the first time the team had scored more than twice in a game at Priestfield during the season so far.[11] On 21 December the team topped this performance by winning 5–1 at home to Southport, their biggest win of the entire season. Ron Newman scored three times, the team's only hat-trick of the season.[11][21] Gillingham's final two matches of 1963 were both against Chesterfield. On 26 December Pulley scored twice as Gillingham won 3–0 at their opponents' Saltergate stadium, and two days later Gillingham won 1–0 at Priestfield with Gibbs scoring the only goal, his 14th Fourth Division goal of the season.[11] Gillingham finished the year top of the Fourth Division, one point ahead of second-placed Carlisle. They had conceded only 15 goals, the best defensive record in the division; only four other teams in the Fourth Division had conceded fewer than 30.[22] The Goldstone Ground, Brighton Gillingham's first defeat of 1964 came at the Goldstone Ground, home of Brighton & Hove Albion.
