Neeraj Khemlani, the former co-president of CBS News and CBS Television Stations, has publicly discussed his advocacy for a long-term investment philosophy known as the 'coffee can' portfolio following his exit from the network in 2023. Khemlani left CBS News as part of a broader restructuring under Paramount Global leadership.
The 'coffee can' investing concept, which Khemlani has promoted in interviews and on social media, involves buying and holding a diversified set of stocks for a very long period, theoretically ignoring market volatility. The term originates from an old practice of placing stock certificates in a coffee can and forgetting about them.
Since leaving CBS, Khemlani has engaged with financial media and his professional network to discuss this strategy, framing it as an alternative to active trading. His public commentary focuses on the discipline required for such a passive, long-horizon approach to building wealth.
Khemlani's post-CBS career includes advisory roles and board positions. His promotion of this investment style represents a significant shift from his previous high-profile role in broadcast journalism and media management.
