The Fast Money traders and Veracruz LLC Founder Steven Cortes put in their two cents. Cortes says he "couldn't agree more" with Buffett that chaos brings both pain and a "historic" opportunity. He and the Traders list some specific names they like.
Today's Fast Money Reader Poll asks if Buffett's decision to buy stock in American companies makes you more interested in them. As of mid-evening and 1716 responses, 68 percent said, "Yes, it's like giving them a seal of approval." Thirty-two percent went with, "No, Buffett only ever does what's best for Buffett."
