These six top stocks owned by Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway should do very well as interest rates continue higher and may be poised to stay at 16-year highs well into 2024. Given the inversion between the two-year note and the benchmark 10-year government paper, it is a good bet that a recession is headed our way in the second half of 2023, so it makes sense to own stocks that will benefit from the surge higher in rates and the fact that they may stay there for some time to come.
