Coffee Can Investing: The Low Risk Road to Stupendous Wealth | A perfect read to understand wealth creating via Investing in Stocks | A Book On Trading and Wealth Management

good for new investors

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.

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.

Good

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.

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.

For me this book in OK for one time read. I do not rate it very high or very low. Below in my review: Pros: 1) Book illustrates mindset for long term investment. 2) Emphasises actual profit realization & being cautious about cost part. 3) Brief on mutual funds is good Cons: 1) Except for first few chapters, later part doesn't give much value add if you are looking from Equity investment point of view. 2) Writer attempted to cater variety of audiences briefly that actually lost relevance at many places. 3) If you are looking for equity investment then entire theme is only 2 ratios & long term. 4) Method only emphasises on very long term with almost no look at current valuation. Writer & his agency might have done thorough research but it can also mean buyer may buy highly overpriced stock which may go into correction or consolidation for long time. Note- 1) Writer has given definition of few ratios but overall this book requires reader to have basic familiarity of stock market & terminology. Not for a person who doesn't know anything about stock market. 2) Writer at many places has given reference of his own firm in statistics & analysis. Some may take it as an advertisement but I think that's justifiable as source of information is required for any reader.
