INTERNATIONAL. Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has topped the ranking, as the world's best investor, in a poll of Bloomberg terminal subscribers.

Buffett is regarded as the best assessor of financial markets by a plurality of almost one-fourth of respondents to the quarterly poll of investors, traders and analysts who subscribe to the Bloomberg terminal.

Bill Gross, the founder and co- chief investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Co., is in second place with 16%. Billionaire investor George Soros gets 10%, followed by Nouriel Roubini, a professor at the Stern Business School at New York University and chairman of Roubini Global Economics (RGE), who predicted the current financial crisis over two years ago,and Marc Faber, the Swiss fund manager and Gloom Boom & Doom editor.

Fewer than 1% cited Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, despite high marks for his performance as a central banker. Only 3% pick Alan Greenspan, the former Fed chairman, according to Bloomberg.

Among just US investors, "Pimco's Gross rated as highly as Buffett," indicating that a great deal of Buffett's support came from the international arena .
