Buffett is cleaning up after those nasty weapons of mass financial destruction; he's just bought a $3 billion chunk of General Electric at a knockdown price, and a very high dividend rate, as he did in Goldman Sachs.
GE are now praying that their $12 billion stock offering to lesser mortals, on considerably poorer terms, will sell as well.
What a shame he wasn't interested in Bradford and Bingley...
