Is it just the dividend income/dividend yield that matters to you, or the total return?
Are you familiar with the mechanics of covered calls, in terms of risk and limited upside?
$BRK.B as a money market account—phew. Ultimately, it’s a stock that, due to its structure, doesn’t correlate very strongly with the market, though it’s still far from having a correlation of 0 or below.
I’ll leave your last two questions about commodities and SpaceX aside. That’s something you have to figure out for yourself. You yourself say, “You don’t need high performers anymore,” but you want to invest in SpaceX (which doesn’t pay dividends). That’s a contradiction in terms, so tell me: emotions are driving your investment strategy. And no amount of facts can counteract emotions.

Dividend income is more important to me.
Yes, it is.
There’s plenty of cash on hand in fiat currency; that was just a metaphor.
I view Berkshire as a very crisis-resistant stock.
I see it as remaining fairly stable or even rising during a crisis.
SpaceX was meant as a joke.
