It's hard to believe, but 33 years ago this month, my father, Dick Fabian, wrote the first issue of what was then called the Telephone Switch Newsletter. His approach back then was simple and straightforward; follow the market's trend and you will stay out of trouble.

After living through the bear market of 1973-74, Dick realized that you could not leave it up to your mutual fund manager to keep you out of harm's way. His major innovation was to tell investors that they could exercise their rights, and move their money to cash during periods of major market decline. Back then, this process involved picking up the telephone and switching your holdings between stock funds and money funds -- hence, the name Telephone Switch Newsletter.

Of course, the technology is completely different today, yet the underlying principle remains the same in what is now the Successful Investing newsletter. That principle is your right to take control of your money -- and to put it to work when the markets are in an uptrend, and to get it out of harm's way when stocks are trending lower.

Now, I am pleased to announce that in honor of the 33-year anniversary of our flagship Fabian publication, my publishers have agreed to a special offer for a one-year subscription to Successful Investing for only $77. That's the same rate you would have paid 33 years ago!

Your subscription includes my weekly market commentary sent directly to your email inbox, our monthly newsletter, special reports, timely buy and sell alerts and our one-hour instructional DVD.

If you don't already subscribe to Successful Investing, now is your chance to get our flagship publication for the same price we charged 33 years ago -- so, I encourage you to act right now.
