Buffett is upbeat

Forget about a new recession - the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway sees the company's businesses coming back, "almost across the board." From Bloomberg:

Buffett, who spoke via video connection to an assembly in Butte, Montana, said U.S. banks were ready to boost lending and encouraged entrepreneurs to seek financing for their business ideas. Berkshire is the biggest shareholder of Wells Fargo & Co., the top U.S. home lender. "It's night and day from a year, year and a half ago," Buffett said. "I know Wells Fargo, they would love to have $50 billion more of loans now. Go in and talk to the banker."
