In less than two weeks Warren Buffett will report his portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, Financial)(BRK.B, Financial). As a tradition, we are hosting a quarterly contest, asking our users to name the stocks Warren Buffett bought during the fourth quarter of 2011 [corrected].
We would like to invite everyone to participate in this contest. The winners will each win a copy of a great investment book selected from this list:
If you have read all the books in the list, we can also buy any book that is below $20 for you if you win.
We understand that Berkshire’s new investment manager Tom Combs now manages part of Berkshire portfolio. The Mastercard Inc. (MA, Financial) purchase during the first and the second quarter was probably from him. Mastercard stock has done very well since the purchase. Buffett also added to his existing position in Wells Fargo (WFC, Financial). His largest recent purchase is IBM (IBM, Financial).
We also take this opportunity to announce the winner for the fourth quarter contest. The fourth quarter winners are Rrateike, Luishernadez, and Itznuthin1. Please contact us and let us know which book you want and where you want to the books be sent to. You will receive the book in 1-2 weeks.
Registered users may participate this contest by entering up to 3 stock symbols into the comment area of this post. Also state briefly the reasons for your guesses. If more than 3 symbols are entered, only the first three will be counted. The deadline for this contest will be when Warren Buffett releases information of Berkshire's holdings, which will be in two weeks. Write your answer to the comment area. If you are not registered, you need to register to participate.
After the contest, we will announce two winners. The prize book will be sent to winner directly from Amazon. We will host the contest again next quarter, so everyone will have another chance to win.
Make sure you do your homework! Good luck!
