Q: I’m a senior but still like to maintain a majority weighting to stocks. I am concerned though about market valuations and the strength of the whole economic system. With that in mind would you suggest Berkshire as a good stock for me? can you suggest 5 or 6 other names that have excellent downside protection?

Do you see any reason for a breakout of these stocks that have traded in a range for some time?
