Successful Investing was started in 1977 by Doug Fabian’s father, Dick Fabian. It is designed for investors who are in the growth stage of investing. The newsletter’s recommendations have beaten the market consistently and kept subscribers’ assets from harm in bear markets by following The Fabian Plan, which guides buy and sell decisions based on the established trend of the market. Successful Investing uses ETFs for both domestic and international equity allocations, recommending specifically what to buy and how much of your portfolio to allocate.
