FWIW, Buffet seems pretty optimistic, and doesn't think the Sub Prime loan problems will affect the overall economy.

"Buffet also told shareholders that he thinks the sub-prime mortgage meltdown is a problem for the companies involved, but is unlikely to spill into the overall economy.

"I think that's dumb lending and it's dumb borrowing," he said.

But he said as long as unemployment and interest rates don't rise considerably, it should not cause widespread problems."
