The 12 Major Zurich Axioms:

Risk – Always worry about potential losses before thinking about profits.

Greed – Take your profits too early; don’t try to squeeze out every last cent.

Hope – When the ship starts sinking, don’t pray—jump off.

Forecasts – The market is unpredictable; never blindly trust predictions.

Patterns – There are no guaranteed patterns in investments; don’t rely on fixed formulas.

Mobility – Avoid emotional attachment to investments; if you need to exit, do it fast.

Intuition – Trust your instincts, but learn to differentiate between irrational fear and valid intuition.

Consensus – Avoid following the crowd; when everyone agrees, the opportunity is already gone.

Order – Plan your strategy, but be ready to change it quickly if needed.

*Stubbornness*–If an investment is not working, don’t insist.

Optimism and pessimism – Always maintain a realistic view; neither overly optimistic nor overly pessimistic.

Diversification – Focus on a few good opportunities instead of spreading your investments too thin.
