Already posted: Why Buffett Thinks Korean Stocks Look Good.
In these two clips, Becky visits a little-known Korean company in what some might consider a "boring" business and explains why it's attracted the attention of the world's greatest investor.
Becky: TaeguTec. It's not a familiar name in America, but it is a very familiar name in South Korea and in Asia, and it is especially familiar if you are anybody who works in any sort of industrial things. It is a metal working company. I know, it sounds a little boring, but there's a lot of stuff that is going on here. They make parts and pieces that go into all kinds of fast growing industries. I mean, they are making things for auto companies, they are making things for the ship building industry. In fact, it's huge in the ship building industry, which is a very big industry right here in South Korea. They also make pieces and parts that go into power generation.
And those are things that Warren Buffett understands. It is something that he is always looking for in Berkshire Hathaway, before they will invest any money. Now TaeguTec, again, I know it's not a familiar name, but it is a division, it's part of Iscar. That's the metalworking company from Israel that he bought just about a year and a half ago.

And that's the type of industry that Buffett is always talking about. Something that is fast growing, something he understands, something he knows will continue.
We'll tell you a lot more about what's happening right here in South Korea, wrap up the rest of Buffett's Asian adventure, with more Squawk Box on Monday morning. We will put it all together for you then.
