Buffett was speaking to reporters during a visit to TaeguTec, an unlisted Korean company.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based company owns more than 70 businesses and has some $100 billion of stock and bond investments.

He said Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N) continued to seek good businesses, which will get cheaper in markets if problems from the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis continue.
