This is my favorite Warren Buffett quote:
Q3 2019 hedge fund letters, conferences and more
“Success in investing doesn’t correlate with IQ once you’re above the level of 120. What you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing. If your IQ is 150, sell 30 points; it won’t hurt.”
