Fact or Fiction: “Ain’t No Cure for the Summertime Blues”

According to Alan Jackson’s hit song “Summertime Blues” which can be found on his 1995 Greatest Hits Collection, there “ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.”  We all have fond memories of summer, going to the beach, staying up late, a summer crush, no school, family vacations, and simply just being a little more carefree.  Labor Day marks the end to summer and the start of fall, the weather tends to cool down a bit, kids are back in school, and summer starts to become a memory. 

For some it is a difficult transition.  For us, it was a walk on the beach.  For starters, gold powered through the $1,000 mark and silver was fast approaching $17.  More specific to BabyBulls, our clients have hit the ground running this Tuesday morning after Labor Day.  Achieving returns similar to those posted by our clients companies is one sure way to reduce, if not eliminate entirely, those summertime blues.  We believe there is more good news to come between now and the end of the year.
