At BluHawk Wealth, we believe in making informed, evidence-based decisions to help you have your best chance to achieve your financial goals. One key insight from decades of investment research is that increased trading activity does not generally correlate with better investment results. In fact, studies show that frequent trading often leads to under-performance after accounting for transaction costs and taxes. For example, research has consistently demonstrated that active traders tend to under-perform more passive, quality oriented, long-term strategies like diversified index or high cash-flow growth stock investing.

This pattern underscores the importance of focusing on disciplined, long-term investment strategies rather than attempting to time markets or chase short-term gains. By staying committed to a well-diversified high quality portfolio aligned with your financial objectives, you are more likely to achieve sustainable growth over time.

OK! Enough Investo-speak, now onto the important stuff:
