If investing is a religion, Warren Buffett is prophet, high priest, saint and lesser diety, all rolled into one. The way he goes, so goes the world's best and brightest (and for good reason. He's smart). The big news on everyone's lips, today, is that Buffett is once again in the market for some juicy acquisition; perhaps in the energy sector. Here are some leading suggestions:

- Mercury General Corp., Los Angeles-based automotive insurer. Worth $3 billion, the company has a 16% ROE and a low debt balance. Warren Buffett loves his insurance companies, and the company's stock is up $2.35 to $57.90 in intraday trading on the speculation.
- Les Schwab Tires, a Prineville, Oregon-based tire store chain. Founder Les Schwab has retreated following the recent death of his daughter, and the company fits into Buffett's love for innovative and well-run companies.
