He has 7 “basic” rules, but extremely powerful:

1. Always insist on a margin of safety

2. This time is never different

3. Be patient and wait for the fat pitch

4. Be contrarian

5. Risk is the permanent loss of capital, never a number

6. Be leery of leverage

7. Never invest in something you don’t understand

    Thanks to Montier for his advice. Although I failed to sum up these rules clearly, I unconsciously followed them.
