VIDEO: Warren Buffett's News Conference in Switzerland

Warren Buffett - Lausanne, Switzerland
Warren Buffett held a news conference in Switzerland today on the second stop of his 4-day European tour.

Most of the questions were about the trip itself, which is designed to raise Berkshire Hathaway's profile among large family-owned businesses that might be looking for a buyer who won't make a lot of changes.  Buffett told reporters he doesn't expect to go home with a done deal in his pocket.

We also learned that Buffett broke his toe during a recent visit to the home of his friend, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.  He joked about how he could turn that incident to his advantage.

Here, in its entirety, is today's news conference, divided into three video clips.
