On CNBC Tuesday morning Warren Buffett announced that he has offered to help out three bond insurers by offering a second level of insurance on as much as $800 billion in municipal bonds.

The three companies, Ambac Financial Group, Inc., MBIA Inc., and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company have gotten into deep financial trouble following their entry into the business of insuring mortgage-backed securities and Wall Street has been consumed for weeks by fears that one or more of the companies might fail.

Buffet said he was not acting out of altruism but rather saw the need for the second insurance as a "way to make money."
