Betcha a $Billion or two ... Warren Buffett buys more bank stock

Filings covering the period ending September 30 2007 showed that Berkshire Hathaway added to stakes in three large U.S. banks with increased stakes in Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC), U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) and Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC).

Between then and now, prices in two of those three banks fell by around 10% at one point or another, while stock in US Bancorp was available at around the same price as its lowest price in the quarter ending Spetember 30th.

Given Mr. Buffett's well-known penchant for buying discounted, out-of-favour stocks, do you think his next filing will show he added to those positions with his ~$40 Billion cash hoard?

Betcha a billion or two he did.
