Each year, there are hundreds of new investment books published. Some of these books tell you that you can use them to get rich quick by investing a certain way. Other books claim to be full of "tried and true" principles. Some books try to help you make money in the long run, and others know exactly how to play the market right now. Some of these books are written by those who have had great success in the stock market, and other books have been written by those whose portfolio you would not like to have yourself.
