Berskhire puts,

The puts are exercisable only in the future, but for now they are a loss and liability, and I would not argue against a ratings downgrade for such a position (although to be honest, I don't know the size of the liability versus Berkshire's capital base). Sure it could work out fine, but it could also become a much deeper hole.

A naked put is about as speculative as it gets, even if it is long term. As for owning Berkshire, I have no opinion either way.
