“It’s been a long, a long time coming. But I know change gonna come, oh yes it will” -Sam Cooke
During this past summer, I noticed a resurgence of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” on news broadcasts and in social media - and appropriately so. What a fitting ballad to capture the essence of struggle, pain, and optimism associated with the widespread protests, civil rights discussions, and, of course, the “COVID moment” our country has been enduring.

Does this other meaning have to do with alternative investments? You bet!

Here we go.
