Warren Buffett is considered one of the canniest investors in the world.
His rule is: never lose money.
He recently invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs.
He has just
invested $3 billion in General Electric.
Either the old feller has lost the plot (which I very much doubt), or this is a big vote of confidence in the system as a whole.
Even if he is just "bargain hunting", those stocks are only bargains if things are going to get better. Makes me feel a bit better.
