FREE 30-Day Trial Web Membership

July marks SMI's 20th anniversary! Don't worry. We're not expecting a gift. Instead we have one for you! Right now, we're offering a 30-day free trial web membership — just for the asking... but the offer ends on July 31st!

Why try SMI? Well, how about the fact that our core investing strategy, Fund Upgrading, has beaten the overall market in 10 of the past 11 years! And our simplified Just-the-Basics strategy has done pretty well, too!

During the 11-year period from 1999-2009, U.S. stocks gained a total of 21.5% (as measured by the Wilshire 5000). During that same time, Just-the-Basics returned 39.3% while Upgrading gained 141.9%.

Let's put Upgrading's performance in dollar terms. If you had invested $25,000 in the overall market at the beginning of 1999, it would have grown to $30,372. But if the same money had been invested according to SMI's Upgrading strategy, it would have grown to $60,532 — an end result almost twice that earned from investing in the overall market!

What else do you get with an SMI Web Membership?

• Our Fund Performance Rankings report — the latest data on the performance of more than 1,500 mutual funds — is updated online every month.

• SMI's Retirement Plan Fund Tracker (shown at right) can generate a custom report that tracks the specific funds available in your retirement plan, so you can know which funds to choose and when. (If you have money in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, this feature alone makes our 30-day trial well worth checking out!)
• Our Bear Alert Indicator reliably distinguishes between a selloff that's within the bounds of normal bull-market activity and one that's likely to turn into a full-fledged bear market. (It's been accurate 10 out of the 11 times it has sounded.)

NO LONG-TERM COMMITMENT. We want you to be completely satisfied. If SMI doesn't live up to your expectations, just cancel your web membership within the first 30 days and you'll never be charged. No explanation necessary.

This special anniversary offer is only good through July 31st, so sign up today!
