Some of the most effective hedging strategies the Goldman analysts found ... combinations of stocks and non-bond diversifiers. In fact, the best diversifiers were mostly filtered baskets of stocks, such as the S&P 500 “low volatility” subindex, which includes the 100 least volatile stocks in the main index. A 50/50 split between this and the S&P 500 would, from 1996 to 2002, have generated nearly twice the annualised excess returns (over cash) of the S&P 500 index alone.I think wouldn´t apply to Berkshire, with it´s wild swings over the last 2 years.

C) At least here
Diversifying into “quality” stocks (with high returns on equity, stable earnings and low net debt) would have brought similar returns.we can have some hope to survive :)
