– Warren, what do you consider the most important quality for an investment manager?
– It’s the temperamental quality, not an intellectual quality. You don’t need tons of IQ in this business. […] You need a stable personality. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd because this is not a business where you take polls, it’s a business where you think.
This is an excerpt from Warren Buffett’s first television interview, in 1985, where he discusses timeless investment principles.
The financial market is a huge money transfer machine. It transfers money from the inpatient trader to the patient one, from the undisciplined trader to the disciplined one, from the distracted trader to the focused one, from the lazy trader to the diligent one.
2018 has already been marked by a few good rallies and corrections. You neither party nor mourn them. You just stare at them and make your moves according to your rules.
