Fundamental Principles
There are five fundamental principles involved:
- Always counter an attack with equal or greater force.
- Defend every important market.
- Be forever vigilant in scanning for potential attackers. Assess the strength of the competitor. Consider the amount of support that the attacker might muster from allies.
- The best defense is to attack yourself. Attack your weak spots and rebuild yourself anew.
- Defensive strategies should be the exclusive domain of the market leader.

Famous quotes related to fundamental principles:
“This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I can not but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world ... and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
