description: "Some folks asked if $BRK Berkshire Hathaway still counts as a defensive stock? I'll reply here:Personally, I think it does.I buy it like I would a money market fund, not expecting huge gains.But from last year until now, I've made some money trading long call options in waves.The goal is: Cash + defensive stocks as a two-tier buffer to deal with some black swan events.Sometimes, long calls on these large-cap stocks with low volatility are more stable and easier to make money on. For example: $Berkshire Hathaway B(BRK.B.US) $Apple(AAPL.US)Not investment advice!"

Changdian has stable p

- **剑影独行侠 · 2026-03-02T03:48:57.000Z · 👍 3**: Short-term options trading is really not advisable, unless you can decisively cut losses, otherwise one big loss will take a long time to recover from.
