The Zurich Axioms: The rules of risk and reward used by generations of Swiss bankers

by Gunther Max

Adventure is what makes life worth living, and the way to have an adventure is to expose yourself to risk.

Always bet on the short and modest. Don’t let greed get you. When you have a good profit, cash out and walk away.

Decide in advance what gain you want from a venture, and when you get it, get out

Chaos is not dangerous until it begins to look orderly.
