Buffett doubts Euro strength

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is cautious in his outlook for the Euro, even as the currency made a strong rebound in the third quarter. At a conference outside Tel Aviv, Buffett said that the euro's strength would still be tested.

"There's a real challenge when you try to get a large group of countries with different cultures, different attitudes toward fiscal policy, to share a common currency... I think it's going to be an interesting one to watch," Buffett said in previously recorded remarks, according to Bloomberg.
