I'm looking for big companies that have a strong track record of deploying cash.

    The reason is that I already have a lot of brk.b, and I want to avoid tech, but also don't want to have too much in SGOV. I'm looking for companies that will be strong enough to not only survive a crash but also benefit from it.

    Alternatives to Berkshire Hathaway?

      Unfortunately they are pretty unique. It is a unique combination of value based companies they own and value based companies they invest in.

      Depends on the type of crash

      You need to specify precisely what you’re hedging against to identify how to hedge against it

      A US government default, AI equities crash, consumer debt, war, synthetic gold becomes cheap to produce, mutual funds/ETFs get hacked, etc. These will all have different answers.

    3. Maybe NOBL and some BIL or SGOV. A 70/30 or 60/40 blend.

      NOBL is dividend aristocrats, companies that have not cut dividends in decades.

      It’s not apples to apples Buffett, but similar

    4. When did you panic sell? Feb-March? Where did the SGOV money come from? For how long has it been there??

      The most ever stock reliable against any kind of crash, inflation, war, low interest, high interest, is “Gold”. The banks and countries are increasing their reserves of gold year over year

    6. LVHI, dropped only 8% during 2022 bear market vs S&P 28% & actually gained for the first half of it.
