The Berkshire Breakout
Image shown: Berkshire Hathaway's shares have broken out following the release of its second-quarter 2018 results. We continue to believe Berkshire Hathaway belongs in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have more flexibility to pursue share buybacks, and we’d be flat-out surprised if Berkshire were to buy Southwest outright. Berkshire’s cash balance continues to grow, and we think a stake in Facebook might be the best opportunity for a part of the equity security allocation.

Johnson & Johnson: Headline Risk But Business Solid
We remain big fans of the steady hand displayed by the venerable Johnson & Johnson as the pharmaceutical bellwether continues to perform admirably. During its second-quarter results, we came away impressed with the continued strength in the Oncology division, which masks the deceleration in growth in Cardiovascular Disease. There continues to be headline risk with respect to talcum powder litigation, but J&J’s underlying business remains solid, in our view.
