The Zurich Axioms (Harriman Definitive Edition): The rules of risk and reward used by generations of Swiss bankers

If you want to get rich, no matter how inexperienced you are in investment, this book can help you.

Its message is that you must not avoid risk, nor court it foolhardily, but learn how to manage it - and enjoy it too.The 12 major and 16 minor Zurich Axioms contained in this book are a set of principles providing a practical philosophy for the realistic management of risk, which can be followed successfully by anyone, not merely the 'experts'.

Several of the Axioms fly right in the face of the traditional wisdom of the investment advice business - yet the enterprising Swiss speculators who devised them became rich, while many investors who follow the conventional path do not.
