It seems like there needs to be a few more months of sub-prime shakeout to see the extent of the bad debt. Also waiting a bit longer could mean even better deals if the big financial companies have to make further write-downs and someone declares that we are in a real recession now.

There is so much turmoil in the economy right now with talks of a recession, inflation, and subprime lending woes. I too am a big fan of Warren Buffet and value investing. It's hard to go wrong with good, undervalued growth companies. I like to get in after a good earnings report where the market reacts negatively, as long as the forward looking statements still indicate the company will continue to experience good growth.
