Warren Buffet to Buy failed US Banks

Buffett gave Bank of America a cash injection in 2011 after its stock plunged amid losses tied to subprime mortgages. In 2008, Buffett gave Goldman a $5 billion lifeline to shore up the bank following Lehman Brothers' collapse.

Buffett may be preparing to play a role similar to the one he played during the financial crisis, when he made critical investments in Goldman Sachs, General Electric, and other companies when fear froze credit markets. He also called Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to suggest the government invest directly in banks rather than buying their assets, which it promptly did.

The billionaire's support could help to alleviate concerns about more bank failures and restore trust in the financial system. If Buffett demonstrates his willingness to put his money at risk in regional lenders, it may inspire other investors to hold on to bank stocks or buy them at a discount. It may also reassure depositors that their funds are secure.

Buffett stands to benefit from the situation being calmed, as his financial stocks have been crushed in recent weeks. Berkshire's combined stakes in Bank of America and American Express have dropped by about $9 billion in the last month alone
