Buffett, who overtook Bill Gates this year as the world's richest man, said he believed the financial markets should be more tightly regulated.

Notorious activist for the Democratic Party, Warren Buffet, continues to pimp for an imaginary recession.
Imaginary? Yep! Even Buffett admits that his imaginary recession is:
“not [a recession] in the sense as defined by economists”
Rather, the #1 Democratic cheer leader for the imaginary recession declared it’s all about how people are “feeling”. Well, DUH! The freaking media have been ramming this doom and gloom FICTION down their throats for at least the last six months! It’s no wonder the naïve little lemmings are now “feeling” like they’re in a recession (when even Buffett himself admits they’re NOT).
The “report” goes on to note:
“Omaha-based Berkshire has about $35 billion in cash and is looking to invest.”
Is Buffett looking to drive the markets down in search of the value plays he is known for? I would not presume to know.
Remember, even The San Francisco Chronicle has already debunked Buffett once.
Also recall, Buffett freely admits that he:
“never made any money out of economic forecasting”
Meantime, the professionals whose income depends upon accurate economic forecasts, continue to forecast economic growth in every quarter of 2008.
It is increasingly unlikely that we are currently in a recession or that we will be at any point in 2008:
