THANK YOU.

My hope, in the Fabian tradition, is to educate you about Trend Following and The Fabian Compounding Plan. What I call "The Fabian Way." This plan is a way you can manage your investment dollars for better than average returns during market advances and preserve your capitol during market declines.
 
I want to share with you what Dick Fabian has taught me through his books, website, radio show, seminars and various special reports.

Welcome to my web site!

Let's face it, for most of us investing is confusing. We realize that it's is something we should do but we are afraid to make mistakes with our future. With all the conflicting information available in the media and on the Internet how can you make heads or tails out of this stock market stuff? What's it all mean?

Back in 1996, that's where I was...very confused. I set out to educate myself about the basics of the stock market and investing. After reading several books, attending seminars and spending countless hours surfing the Internet and all it's financial sites, I can honestly say I WAS MORE CONFUSED THAN BEFORE I STARTED. Most of the approaches to investing I found were pretty complicated and hard to understand. The more I looked, the more mumbo jumbo I found.

Then in the spring of 2000, something began to happen. The stock market started to drop....and drop....and drop. As I continued to review the investing approaches I had been looking at, it became very clear they were lacking one important thing. They didn't tell you how to protect yourself as the market went down. As the market kept going lower, I kept searching for something better.

In the fall of 2002, at the depths of the market decline, I was listening to our local financial talk radio station. Dick Fabian was starting his weekly radio show. I had not listened before so I decided that I would. I found out very quickly that Dick Fabian was different. He was a financial guy and had a money management firm but was talking very differently than all the other "experts" I had listened to or read about. He was saying stuff like "you can be your own investment advisor" while most everyone else said I needed professional help. He said

"forget about buy and hold."

"forget about asset allocation and modern portfolio theory."

"forget about bonds and cash equivalents."

"forget about dollar cost averaging."

These were all fundamental things the others said I needed to do. He went on to say I should "look at the market in a different way" and "let the market tell me what to do". He also stressed how "the investor is much more important than the investment".

Another thing Dick Fabian kept saying was SIMPLE. How any investment approach you follow must be SIMPLE. SIMPLE to understand, SIMPLE to follow and SIMPLE to implement. Otherwise you won't stick with it. Now I don't know about you, but I have always liked SIMPLE.

I hope that I can share with you this SIMPLE investment approach, developed by Dick Fabian, and help YOU become your own investment advisor.

Another fellow I found is Al Thomas. He also follows the same basic trend following approach that Dick Fabian talks about.

Al takes a very dim view of the "experts" in the investing field. As a former floor trader and market insider, he shines a bright light on investment professionals exposing many things I'm sure they wish he hadn’t. Al takes the legs out from under many brokers, advisors, analysts and other Wall Street types.

His approach to investing is also, SIMPLE.

The title of his book says it all,

"IF IT DOESN'T GO UP, DON'T BUY IT".
