【本报讯】“股神”巴菲特前日受访时表示，美国经济尚未好转，当前看不见复苏“嫩芽”，但情况也没有转坏，只是未知何时转势向上，他还表示正在买股。持有比亚迪一成股份的股神还透露，比亚迪并未要求再度注资，但如他们提出，他会考虑。

据报道，股神投资旗舰巴郡旗下中美能源去年9月斥资2．3亿美元，买入比亚迪股份[62.85 -4.77%]10％股份。早前比亚迪董事长兼总裁王传福表示，中美能源有意进一步增持该公司股权，但仅属初步意向。

巴菲特前日出席《财富》杂志举办的“最具权力女性论坛”，接受媒体访问。他大赞比亚迪做得不错(ｄｏｉｎｇ ｗｅｌｌ)，没有向他寻求额外注资，但如他们要求会予以考虑。巴郡作为卡夫食品最大股东，卡夫近日提出以160亿美元收购吉百利，巴菲特表示不反对这宗收购，但认为出价相当高。

联储局主席伯南克前日表示，衰退可能已经结束，巴菲特被问及是否同意时说：“我不知道答案，但我不太担心，我们今早还买入股票。我买股票不是根据经济会在3个月、半年还是1年内走出衰退……我认为投资者若着眼商业预测，而非业务的内在价值，这是一个错误。”

巴菲特认为美国经济已经触及“谷底平原”，未有反弹但不会再下跌，“看不见经济转好或转差，但可以说比6月前好。去年的恐怖感一扫而空。”他认为美国楼市有改善迹象，但失业率攀升至25年高位，消费收缩可能持续。不过，他深信经济未来必定会好转，只是不知何时，“可能是明天”。 （中新网）

The legendary investor says he doesn't see 'green shoots' but that 'things aren't getting worse either.'

 he expects a slow recovery as consumers remain wary of spending.

Buffett said U.S. officials have done "a terrific job, all things considered" to help forestall the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

"We were right at the brink," Buffett told Carol Loomis,Fortune senior editor at large, at the magazine's Most Powerful Women Summit in California. "This country was becoming not only dysfunctional, but nearly inoperative."

In fact, Bank of America chief executive Ken Lewis may have "inadvertently" helped save the financial system a year ago by arranging for BofA (BAC, Fortune 500) to buy troubled Merrill Lynch in "virtually a 24-hour period," according to Buffett.

If Lewis hadn't, Buffett said Merrill "would have been gone in a nanosecond," joining Lehman Brothers in going out of business.

While he does not see the "green shoots" of economic renewal, Buffett said "I don't see things getting worse either."

He said the housing market has shown signs of improvement and that markets in certain parts of the country could stabilize within a year.

But the pullback in consumer spending that has occurred as unemployment has risen to a 25-year high could remain in place for some time, he said.

"I think that change in behavior is going to be long lasting, and that may mean that the recovery will be quite slow," he said.

Looking back, Buffett said the head of American International Group (AIG, Fortune 500) contacted him last year looking for help raising money shortly before the troubled insurer was rescued by the government.

"Don't waste your time on me," Buffett told said he told Robert Willumstad, then the chief executive officer of AIG. "I'm not going to be able to do anything for you."
