the right policies. Gawker Media, in an article on his predictions, described him as having written "the most hilariously wrong investment book of all time". His second book, The Secret Code of the Superior Investor: How to Be a Long-Term Winner in a Short-Term World, was published by Three Rivers Press in December 2002. The book focused on the construction of a solid personal portfolio. It offered advice for finding the best individual stocks and mutual funds even in uncertain times and volatile markets. At the heart of Glassman's "secret code" is the belief that stocks are the best long-term bet there is. The trick is finding solid companies to invest in and then sticking with those companies through thick and thin. Glassman wrote a weekly and twice-weekly investment column for The Washington Post from 1993 to 2004 and since then has written a monthly column for Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
