Per the Hulbert Financial Digest, quoted at the top of thew front flap, "The Fabian trend-following plan is one of the simplest (and) understandable, and is one that investors can actually live with...." Fabian spent 30 years in finance, most of it counseling investors. As the founder and head of Fabian Financial Services, he helps individuals and corporate clients invest wisely, which for him means closely following trends in the mutual fund markets, and backing those that are proven winners. In his considered opinion, investing in funds allows for compounded profits, as opposed to backing a single company or stock and riding it up (or at times down).
There are several charts sprinkled throughout the text. Although it was published in 2001, mutual funds are still a crucial part of the Wall Street market, so knowing how to work them to your advantage makes great sense.
There are many other copies on eBay but none are signed, making my near-excellent signed copy a sweet find. The best price for a very good one is $15.95 with free shipping. For a brand new one, it's $24.89 with free shipping.
My Buy-It-Now price of $16.99 includes shipping with cardboard backing in a padded envelope via media mail, which takes around 7 days with tracking.
