Weekend reading: Buffett stumped

My weekly commentary followed by some links to a few good blogs and financial articles.

I have only just seen this full interview with Warren Buffett on CNBC, which was conducted on September 16th.

Warren’s recollections on the collapse of Lehman Brothers a year ago makes fascinating viewing (perhaps even the wily old Sage of Omaha was excited by the market meltdown [1]?)

As a fan of Buffett the man [2] as well as the investor, I like how he frankly admits he couldn’t understand the deal being proposed to him about getting into a bid for Lehmans.

He didn’t understand the deal, so he didn’t do it.

If you’re putting money into a complicated structured product [3] that you don’t fully understand, you might want to ask yourself: What would Warren do?
