Thursday, December 4th at 7:00pm (Eastern) the Fox business channel will air a Q & A session with the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet. It’s all part of Buffet U., a gathering of 165 business students converging to gather whatever drops of wisdom the oracle casts off.
FoxBusiness.com has a couple of preliminary interviews with the man himself on the current market conditions and the unemployment outlook.
Follow the links below and hear Buffet on …
- Why buy into market now (capitalism works over time!)
- Why the economic crisis isn’t unprecedented in our country’s history.
- Paulson’s TARP plan and whether it’s working.
- And why he’s like girl sitting around on Saturday night.

UPDATED: You can now see it here.
- Unemployment and why he’s not worried about it 5 years from now, but why it will be higher than 7.5% the fed predicts for next year…
- Why he’s taking the recent 40% loss in Berkshire stock in stride.

UPDATED: You can now see it here.
In both interviews, Warren Buffet offers one thing that is sorely lacking in 95% of the financial coverage we are being deluged with daily: perspective.
UPDATE: Many thanks to reader Dell Berge for bringing to my attention that the original videos have been removed from Yahoo. I did some digging and found some kind souls who have preserved the videos on YouTube. I also found 2 bonus Buffet U. vids:
Warren Buffet on the auto Industry bailout:
- How and why the American Auto Industry needs to change.
- Bankruptcy works, but is expensive.
- How Government can be more efficient at forcing change, and what strings he would attach.
- How the Government could turn the Big 3 bailout into a never ending money pit.

About the Buffet U. event itself:
- Behind the scenes of Buffet U.
- Who’s attending.
- Why Warren Buffet decided to host Buffet U.
I found it interesting to see so many foreign born students attending. I also found it disheartening to see so few American born students… I wonder if foreigners have a better appreciation for capitalism these days than Americans, but that’s another post.
I want to be able to watch the Q and A with the university students Warren Buffet hosted and cannot find how to access it.
@Dell,
Many thanks for pointing this out!
