BRKB as a Defensive Play in Market Downturn

The post, while discussing options rolling, highlights a positive sentiment towards holding Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) during market instability. Users suggest BRK.B is a good position to be in during a downturn, partly due to its substantial cash reserves (around $300 billion) and its diversified holdings, including bank stocks. The implication is that BRK.B could offer relative stability or even capitalize on market weakness, making it a potentially safer holding during fearful market conditions.
