Neeraj Khemlani Publishes First Book on 30-Year Coffee-Can Investing Strategy

1 articles · Updated · CBS New York · Jun 19

Summary

  • Neeraj Khemlani has released his first book, “The Coffee Can Investor,” built around Kansas City analyst Matthew Ankrum’s long-hold stock strategy for his three daughters.
  • Ankrum’s approach is to buy companies he believes could become “100-baggers,” store the stock certificates in a coffee can and leave them untouched for at least 30 years.
  • He says the goal is to harness compounding over decades to build generational wealth, with a portfolio he believes could eventually reach half a billion dollars.
  • Khemlani, a former CBS News and Stations president who has known Ankrum since 1999, said the book also aims to pass on financial-literacy lessons rather than just promote stock picking.
  • Ankrum and his daughters frame the plan as a way to create long-term flexibility and freedom, tying the investing story to broader family legacy and financial stability.
