Warren Buffett comments on real estate, commodities

Warren Buffett's comments on some hot (or "problematic") areas in the global financial markets on the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway: the real estate and commodity markets.

In brief:

The real estate market was a bubble to some degree, and we may see continuation in the slowing observed recently. Especially in the high-end of the market and where homes were purchased as investments "significant downward adjustments" seem possible.

Probably even more speculative is the situation on the commodity markets, where prices have risen quite above the fundamentals and more and more traders get involved only for speculative reasons.

Nice to read the summary at marketwatch.com
