Coffee Can Investing: The Low-Risk Road: The Low Risk Road to Stupendous Wealth

Easy read. Excellent insights on low risk sustainable returns. Provides amateur investors, a sound advice to have patience, invest for long term on diverse portfolio of small & mid caps, large caps through index and ETFs, to maintain balance between equity and debt instruments as per risk appetite. Also inspires the conservative Indian typically investing in real estate and gold to engage in financial investments, meanwhile clearly reflecting the hidden threat of compounded expenses in the glit and glam of frequently churned dynamics of rising and falling share prices and stock market.

Interesting read. I have partially applied some of the advice. Especially around investing in ETFs, debt funds and mutual funds. Too early to judge the results. However the financial tool it talks about is no longer available and the original parent company seems to have distanced itself from the book. So I would infer that any investment advice it gives should be acted upon with caution. More so, the coffee can portfolios from 2014 seem to have underperformed compared to what the book predicted. Though the book says that the portfolio is immune to downturns it’s clear that Covid has changed some of the equations.

Ok

I am really impressed by the philosophy of coffee can investing. The Book talks about the Indian stock market with a brief history of various sectors of investment in India e.g real estate, gold, stock, bonds, etc. This book is not just about investing it shows how the Indian market is very different than another market (mainly the USA) and books written by American investor doesn't work here. It's a new perspective of looking at the Indian market. I recommend this book to every beginner investor in India. This is not my first book and certainly won't be a last. I decided to read all of Saurabh's books. His research in the Indian market is very new and convincing.

Excellent book ,made concept of quality of stock so clear .Trying yo create own Coffee Can portfolio with my own tweaking

With the current stock market freefall going on, this book was a balm to edgy nerves. It offers insights and detailed explanation to strategies for average investors like us on navigating through stock markets. It provides a pathway to investing without taking unnecessary risks and avoiding most common pitfalls. The language is simple,easy to understand and most importantly the strategy is easy to follow. It has ample statistical evidences to support the theory,but they don’t overwhelm the reader. Highly recommended for anyone who is into investing in Indian stock markets.

Good But not current published old stock Book

I stumbled upon Saurabh Mukherjea when a friend of mine pointed me to him recently. My friend has done fairly well investing in the market while I, being a novice, just recently jumped in with the dreams of doubling my wealth post the stock market crash that Covid-19 triggered when the country went into lockdown on 22 March 2020. For the past 15 years, I have stayed clear of speculative investments, choosing to simply invest in my business, a few structured NCD investments and Fixed Deposits. I heeded Warren Buffett and Charlie Mungers advice and stayed within my circle of competence, which did not involve investing in stocks. Risk as they said "was not knowing what you are doing", and when it came to stocks nor did I have the time to do fundamental analysis not did I have the temperament or skills. Despite knowing my limitations, my emotions got the better of my rationality, and instead of making money I lost money by doing everything that this book advises one not to do. The gambling like pull of trading is so strong that it turns ones most rational senses to mush and then makes one make even more mistakes in an effort to get even. It's been a valuable lesson that I wish had remained vicarious. There is a section in the book which talks about how loss hurts 2.5 times more than a gain. After having experienced losing, I can tell you that this is true. Reading Coffee Can Investing will give you an insight into the minds of the founders of Marcellus and their fund Consistent Compounders (CCP), the top performing PMS Fund in India. Over the past few months I have become a huge fan of their philosophy, the team and the rigor that they follow in order to reduce risk while providing above market returns. The end of the book shows the evolution of their filtered approach to deciding what to invest in on a rolling basis. The book also drives home the importance of financial planning and provides an excel based financial planning model. Just this tool is worth much more than the price of the book. The reason I say that everyone should read this book is because everyone wants to grow their money to achieve security, stability and their ambitions. This book will give you a roadmap on how to go about doing just that.

The book helps newcomers to understand how to invest in equities in Indian markets
