Buffett: 'We've never had people in a more gambling mood than now'

Warren Buffett likened markets to 'a church with a casino attached,' highlighting the split between traditional value investing and the growing popularity of short-term options trading and prediction markets. The piece is primarily commentary on investor behavior and speculation rather than a company- or policy-specific event. Market impact appears limited, though it underscores elevated retail and derivatives-driven risk appetite.
