Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said the US investment environment still offers opportunities even as investor behavior grows increasingly speculative. The remarks highlight a shift in market sentiment.

Walter Bloomberg reported on May 2 that Buffett said he has never seen US investors act as speculatively as they do now.

He described a gambling-like mood as spreading across the broader market.

Even in that environment, Buffett said, investment opportunities still remain.

The remarks are being interpreted as a warning sign on investor sentiment amid a recent debate over overheating in asset markets.

Market participants are closely watching how changes in investor behavior could affect asset-price volatility and market structure. Liquidity and investment flows are expected to be key variables going forward.
