5 Best Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch Right Now

The "StressTest" column appears every Thursday on Fool.com. Check back weekly, and follow�@TMFStressTest�on Twitter.

A careful observer might wonder if the widespread adoration for�Warren Buffett is little more than lip service. Or, at the very least, some Buffett admirers are suffering from a bout of cognitive dissonance.

In the wake of the Great Recession, a great many investors -- not to mention the media -- have yet to get over the crisis-induced hatred of banks. A quick search of headlines over the past year is revealing:

"Bank of America too big, complex to be manageable"
"Wilbur Ross: Banks 'Too Complex to Manage'"
"Bank Of America Has Failed Shareholders"
"19,654 Reasons Big Banks Are Too Complex"

To read much of it, there's no hope for the banks' own executives -- let alone outside investors -- to understand what's going on in those banks. Investing in a situation like that would be financial suicide.�

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Geoff Gannon] east loved of these is ��of course ��RIMM. Einhorn already has a paper loss in that stock. His average cost was $18.88 a share. Today�� price is $15.05. That�� a 20% loss. And Einhorn only started buying Research In Motion in the last three months of 2011.

    But Research In Motion is a pretty small position ��0.81% of Einhorn�� total portfolio ��compared to one of his other new buys: Dell.

    Einhorn already owns $255 million of Dell shares. He paid $15.36 a share. The stock is now at $18.08 a share. That�� an 18% gain. And Dell will mean a lot more to Einhorn�� performance than Research In Motion. Dell is a 3.9% position for Einhorn. That�� almost five times the size of his investment in Research In Motion. So ��for now at least ��Einhorn�� paper gain on Dell will more than make up for his paper loss on RIMM.

    Finally, there�� Yahoo.

    This is a quasi-new buy for Einhorn. He actually bought a 8.5 million shares of Yahoo in the first quarter of 2011 only to sell them for a 2% loss the next quarter. Einhorn was out of Yahoo completely for the third quarter of 2011. And now he�� back in with about 3 million shares bought in the fourth quarter of 2011. Einhorn�� average price is a wee bit lower this time. His original purchase price ��back in first quarter 2011 ��was $16.64 a share. He got his Yahoo shares about 6% cheaper this time around. Einhorn paid $15.66 a share for his 3 million shares of Yahoo. The stock is down a smidge from there. Around $15.25 a share.

    There have been reports of a breakdown in Yahoo�� buyout talks. But that�� par for the course in a situation like this where a company is shopping itself around. There will be lots of people leaking stories for lots of different reasons. Don�� believe everything you read about Yahoo. And certainly don�� try to trade on everything you read about Yahoo.

    Why is Einhorn buying Yahoo?

    Probably on a sum of the parts basis. As everybod

    This is an important question because you may have in mind that you have a lot of faith in Apple right now. That faith may be well founded. But if you have little faith in Apple four or five or six years out ��do you really think you will be the first to spot the company's loss of leadership? Think about how quickly companies like Nokia (NOK) and Research In Motion (RIMM) saw their P/E ratios contract when investors realized just how far they were behind the competition. Do you really think you will be fast enough to spot a change in Apple's position? It�� not enough to see the writing on the wall. You have to see it faster than everyone else. You have to sell before they do.
