Wall Street's favorite oracle still knows how to pick 'em—even if he hates crypto.

1. The Boring Bet That Keeps Printing

Buffett’s classic "buy what you understand" play—ignoring blockchain hype for cashflow monsters.

2. The Recession-Proof Cash Machine

While DeFi protocols collapse, this old-school moneymaker quietly stacks billions.

3. The "Secret" Tech Play Even Boomers Get

Turns out you don’t need NFTs when you own the infrastructure behind every iPhone.

Bottom line: In a world of vaporware and vaporized portfolios, the Oracle’s picks still crush 99% of crypto "investments" (yes, we see you, meme coin bagholders).

1. Amazon

Every pullback in's (AMZN 0.32%) share price in the past presented a great buying opportunity. I have no reason to doubt that the latest one will be any different.

Sure, some Wall Street analysts are concerned that Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a laggard in the artificial intelligence (AI) race after the cloud unit underperformed compared with its rivals. But AWS remains the leader in the cloud services market. Importantly, it's also growing robustly, with sales jumping 17.5% year over year in the second quarter of 2025.

Some investors could also be worried about how tariffs could hurt Amazon's e-commerce business. CEO Andy Jassy acknowledged in the Q2 earnings call that there's uncertainty related to tariffs. However, he said that the company hasn't seen demand declining or prices increase by a significant level so far. Jassy believes that customers will continue to shop on Amazon's platform because they're able to find the products they want at lower prices.

I fully expect AWS will continue to claim the highest market share in the cloud market and enjoy a strong AI tailwind. I predict that Amazon will successfully navigate the challenges created by the TRUMP administration's trade policies. And I look for the company to keep finding new ways to grow.

2. Domino's Pizza

(DPZ -0.31%) is one of the handful of stocks that Buffett, or one of his investment managers, has bought in recent quarters. Berkshire Hathaway now owns 7.7% of the pizza giant.

Why is Domino's Pizza a great pick for other investors right now? I think the stock could prove to be highly resilient if the economy weakens. With inflation rising and a lackluster recent jobs report, the odds of an economic pullback appear to be increasing.

When times are tough, many consumers curtail spending on going out to eat. However, ordering pizza is a relatively cheap substitute. Domino's frequent deals could entice even cost-conscious consumers to splurge a little in a way that doesn't bust their budgets.

Also, tariffs shouldn't be a huge issue for Domino's Pizza. The company relies on domestic suppliers for its ingredients. Even if some of those ingredient prices rise, I think customers will still find Domino's an attractive option that's less expensive than most alternatives.

3. Mitsubishi

Buffett thinks so highly of(MSBHF -0.10%) that he has included the Japanese stock on the list that he expects Berkshire to own "indefinitely." He also likes the company's business model, which he has likendd to Berkshire's own business.

With Berkshire's shares trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 22.7, Buffett hasn't authorized any stock buybacks this year. But Mitsubishi looks like a bargain with a forward earnings multiple of 14. I view this stock as kind of a cheaper version of Berkshire with a Japanese accent.

Mitsubishi's attractive valuation isn't the result of a steep decline, by the way. The stock has soared more than 20% year to date.

Investing in Mitsubishi is almost like investing in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) because of the diversification it offers -- again, similar to Berkshire. The conglomerate owns 1,205 companies that operate in a wide range of industries, including energy, food, materials, and more.
