Max Gunther states some interesting facts about Switzerland...

"Consider the puzzle of Switzerland. This ancestral home of mine is a rocky little place about half the size of Maine. It has not one inch of seacoast. It is one of the most mineral-poor lands on earth. It possesses not a drop of oil to call its own, barely a bucket of coal. As for farming, its climate and topography are inhospitable to just about everything".

Yet the Swiss are among the most affluent people in the world. How do the Swiss do it"?

Switzerland has done it by producing some of the world's best speculators, investors and gamblers. The traders who wrote the Axioms got rich following them so here are the main themes to learn from the book.

1. "Worry is not a sickness but a sign of health. If you are not worried, you are not risking enough". Today in investing its fashionable to keep risk but the fact remains f you don't take calculated risks you won't win - if you don't risk enough of your money you won't win a lot.

If you don't love risk and enjoy a challenge you will never make a lot of money so work 9 - 5 instead. With reward goes risk and that's a fact.

Your success is all about taking risks at the right time.

2. "Always take your profit too soon".

5. "Chaos is not dangerous until it begins to look orderly"

Any market you are trying to make money in is chaotic by nature as humans are involved and there not logical but when everyone thinks there is order be worried as humans will mess up the plan for sure!
