I think Buffet and Lampert have put the floor under banks here.

Brokers are the weakest link here. But the banks daily charts look like they are making a pretty solid bottom.
Take a look at BAC, USB and so on.

But, if you look at BSC for example it hasn't made a lower low. Of course its trading at just about book value too, so no surprize there.

Hey, I'm pretty happy that I'm picking the same stocks as Buffet and Lumbert. Looks like we were buying BAC and C at the same time. Of course they both can be terribly wrong buying the top quality world banks at 9 P/E with 5+% dividend yield. But makes me feel good none the less :)

He didn't say anything. he bought a big position in BAC.

And Lampert bought big position in C.

Buffet is a value investor, not a market timer, although his actions are positive for the markets obviously, he probably will not care if the position goes against him some 10%...
