Enjoy it ! Practice it !!

The book is easy to read while explaining a great way to trade stocks. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is a totally different approach to investing in the stock market, removing dangerous emotions. The author explains the chipping concept very well across different dimensions - stocks, mutual funds (basket of stocks) and explains very well the 'nirvana of chipping'. I have extended the learning in real life and made some decent returns. I like the chipping method, since it shatters many beliefs in stock market investing and it is different from the contrarian invest approach. It is a great book to read and learn a new technique of investing. Enjoy reading the book and don't stop there! Practice it!!

Chipping Breaks New Ground

As a professional money manager and investor I have read scores of books and articles on how to invest. For the most part all of them repeat the same ideas over and over again. Harlan Platt's new book on the counter intuitive practice of Chipping is an insightful treatise on how to take advantage of stock market over reactions through short term trading. Professor Platt breaks new ground by saying that you don't need to work on Wall Street or consume reams of data to make money in stocks. Instead he articulates a simple strategy requiring discipline and steady profit taking to compile above average returns with below market risk. For its sheer innovativeness, and common sense logic on how the market works, this book is a must read.
