The Coffee Can Investor

The Coffee Can Investor is a gem of a book that combines good journalism with strong storytelling. It’s an incredible story of two fathers’ love for their children and their desire to leave them a future as big and bright as the Texas sky. – Dan Rather, journalist and former anchor of CBS Evening NewsDon’t view The Coffee Can Investor as telling you what to think, but rather as providing an example of how to think. It describes a logical process for stock selection, to be applied through rigorous implementation and ultra-long-term investment in a limited number of holdings. These are exactly the right elements, and for that reason I heartily recommend Neeraj Khemlani’s book to any would-be stock-picker. There’s just one more thing, though: The process has to prove out. This one just might. – Howard Marks, cofounder and cochairman, Oaktree Capital Management, and author of The Most Important Thing: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor and Mastering the Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your SideA fascinating approach to growing wealth through the stories of companies that are expected to achieve outsized investment returns. Financial analysis and storytelling make this a must-read for investors. – Tapan Bhat, former president and general manager, Yahoo FinanceThis is a wonderful and incredibly useful book. When you turn the final page, you will be awed by the wisdom of one modest Kansas City dad, you will learn valuable lessons about how to invest, and you will admire Neeraj Khemlani for vividly sharing this tale. – Ken Auletta, New Yorker writer and best-selling author of Googled: The End of the World As We Know It
