The High Cost of Behaviour.

The greatest cost of all to a client – larger than fund fees, the tax drag, or the performance gap between passive and active funds – is the loss due to investor behavior.

Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ….
Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing
