Gordon Haskett’s head of event-driven research, Don Bilson, notes that "a Friday afternoon tweet from someone who goes by the name FuzzyPanda" fanned the flames of rumors that Warren Buffett could get involved in regional banks. The firm said it "wouldn’t be bringing this up if it didn’t hit so close to home but given the fact that we sell a jet tracking tool, we will note that Fuzzy’s list included the names of a few banks that own their own planes, and we didn’t see any of those planes in Omaha on Friday." If Berksire’s (BRK.A) Buffett "does do something, we suspect he’d start at home with a name he already owns. That would be Ally Financial," the firm added.
