Warren Buffet's helping hand to Draghi in turning Europe around?

 Why is Warren Buffet now investing in Europe?
With advantage  Draghi situation in the ECB council, and steps towards a  more meaningful monetary policy, Europe looks good for value investing. Key interest rates are at their lower end and cost inputs would be quite attractive, rendering European companies more competitive..
With outright purchases of securities, and the launch of an expanded asset purchase programme, there would be an adequacy of liquidity in the euro zone for some time.   The combined purchases of public and private sector securities amounting to €60 billion per month is from March to  end-September 2016.
According to Draghi, January 2015 "Bank Lending Survey provides positive signals, showing a further improvement in credit standards for all loan categories in the fourth quarter of 2014"  and the euro area has also seen "a measurable improvement in indicators of business and consumer confidence."
 With demand for euro assets, dollar might get some respite. 
Without risk or responsibility.
