If you are looking for some conservative plays out there, thinking that there are pending storms on the horizon in the economy, I would look no further than the list below. I’ve run a screen to find those stocks least affected by the markets mood’s and emotions, and are to be considered the best of the best stocks to be long in during times of market instability and uncertainty.

A newcomer to the screen is Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares (BRKB) which I have never been real crazy about, but since it announced its big split in its share price back in January, the stock has been on a huge tear. I guess everyone got to live there dream of buying a piece of Buffet without paying an extremely high share price.

Otherwise, there is a nice blend of stocks covering a myriad of industries, with no one industry having an abnormal representation on the screen results. Also, be aware that a lot of the stocks listed below typically pay a handsome dividend.
