Warren Buffett has long eschewed any ability to foresee the path of the markets or the economy, but according to this BusinessWeek article, he’s resolute that the economy will not slide back into recession:
Warren Buffett ruled out a second recession in the U.S. and said businesses owned by his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. are growing.
“I am a huge bull on this country,” Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive officer, said today in remarks to the Montana Economic Development Summit. “We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.”
Berkshire bought railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. for $27 billion in February in a deal that Buffett, 80, called a bet on the U.S. economy. The billionaire’s outlook contrasts with the views of economists such as New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini and Harvard University Professor Martin Feldstein, who have said the odds of another recession may be one in three or higher.
Now that the great man has prognosticated on the state of the economy, I have to ask, “Are we all macro investors now?”

Buffett is exactly right. There won’t be a double-dip because we haven’t even finish the first dip! 20-25% unemployment, $13 trillion national debt, the GDP now being measured in government spending and we’re not producing anything.
As Buffett’s right-hand man even said: “Basically, it’s all over.”
