Logical Inconsistency?

One of the most widely quoted words of wisdom from legendary investor Warren Buffet is,

 

“Rule No. 1: Never lose money.

Rule No. 2: Don’t forget rule No.1.”

 

But.. is it a logical inconsistency?

Logical Insonconsinecy:

When multiple statements are given which contradict one another.

These may be given together or may be separated in time. Sometimes the contradictions are rather subtle and are difficult to spot. At other times, they are obvious. If you have enough authority, then you may be able to carry this off.

 

For me, actively managing risk for drawdown control is essential to “not lose money.”
