Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money. Thanks for being here. I'm your host Chris Hellen.

I'm joined by Motley Fool Senior Analyst Seth Jason, James Early, and Ron Gross.

Guys, good to see you. We have got the latest from CBS Bank of America, AT&T, and more.

We'll talk consumer technology with Washington Post columnist Rob Pegararo.

Plus, as always, a look at the stocks on our radar.

But we begin overseas. Warren Buffett was in South Korea earlier this week

and said that despite recent events, he's not looking at Japan's economic future

any differently and that the event, quote, offer a buying opportunity.

Ron Gross, I'll start with you. You agree with him?

I'm not so sure, Chris. This is certainly standard Buffett fair,

where he's saying the events of the last couple of weeks doesn't really change the whole entire future of the country.

But this is a very large thing that happened.

$300 billion of losses. It could plunge the country back into tough economic times.

Stocks weren't necessarily that I cheap in the first place in a lot of sectors in Japan.

So I'm not sure this does create some amazing buying opportunity,

where you can swoop in and buy stocks on the cheap.

But you're not Buffett. Of course, it is different for him.

The richer different from you and me. Buffett, of course, can buy whole companies.

Not that I think that that's all that much easier for him in Japan

because of weird nested shareholding and all sorts of other strange stuff that goes on there.
