This book can be read in two ways. An affluent professional or
entrepreneur should read it chapter by chapter, and his/her portfolio should be
spread across both equities and bonds. Of particular relevance for such a
reader are
Chapter 1
(Mr Talwar’s Uncertain Future),
Chapter 7
(Pulling It
All Together) and
Chapter 8
(Designing Your Own Financial Plan).
Alternatively, someone who seeks more specific guidance on how to build a
high-quality equity portfolio should carefully read
Chapter 2
(Coffee Can
Investing),
Chapter 5
(Small Is Beautiful),
Chapter 6
(How Patience and
Quality Intertwine) and
Appendix 1
to see how the Coffee Can Portfolio
works.
