Warren Buffett generated several headlines when he appeared live throughout CNBC Squawk Box's three-hours on August 22, including the revelation that he's been adding to Berkshire's stake in either American Express [WFC 31.20
1.53 (+5.16%)
] or Wells Fargo [US;BRK.A 118100.0
-1250.00 (-1.05%)
].
In keeping with his signature coyness, however, he wouldn't say which one is getting his attention.
(Both stocks moved higher from the close the night before on August 21 to Wall Street's most recent close on August 29, with American Express up 2.3 percent and Wells Fargo gaining 3.1 percent. The S&P 500 index slipped 0.7 percent lower during the same period.)

0.62 (+9.66%)
] and Freddie Mac [FRE 5.10
0.15 (+3.03%)
], the economy, the presidential race, and Wall Street's nudist colony.
Warren Buffett Watch featured six posts of video clips and transcripts that day, along with a live blog and an Executive Summary [part one] [part two]
