Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) CEO Warren Buffett is a defensive investor at heart. As a result, Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is heavily tilted toward dyed-in-the-wool value stocks – many of which pay generous and sustainable dividends. By taking this approach, the Oracle of Omaha has been able to markedly outperform the broader markets since he took the reigns of the diversified conglomerate back in 1965. Underscoring this point, a $1,000 investment in Berkshire Hathway stock at the start of Buffett's tenure as CEO would be worth an astonishing $1.82 million today. 

Which Buffett stocks are worth owning in this turbulent environment? If you're like me and you're a tad concerned about the lack of demand in the commercial real estate sector, rocketing bond yields, and stubborn levels of inflation, then quality is going to be a major factor in your buy or sell decisions in regards to stocks in the coming months. With that in mind, I think the healthcare titan Johnson Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a must-own stock right now. Here is a brief overview of why defensive investors may want to consider buying this top-notch dividend and value stock.
