Once a quarter GuruFocus hosts a contest in which members of GuruFocus can predict which stocks Warren Buffett buys. 36 people reported in this contest. Among them, two of them were announced the winners. They were Itznuthin1 and Richday101.


Warren Buffett’s top four purchases last quarter were Eaton Corp. (ETN, Financial), IngersollRand Company Ltd. (IR, Financial), NRG Energy Inc. (NRG, Financial), and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. (BNI, Financial), and Constellation Energy Group Inc. (CEG, Financial).


Itznuthin1 guessed NRG, IR, and ETN. Richday101 guessed COP, ETN and IR. Congratulations to the winners! Each of them receives a great investing book from the list below or any investment book at comparable prices:


• Joel Greenblatt: The little Book that Beat the Market

• Benjamin Graham: The Intelligent Investor

• Martin Whitman:The Aggressive Conservative Investor

• Peter Lynch: Beating the Street

• Peter Lynch: One Up on Wall Street

• David Dreman: Contrarian Investment Strategies in the Next Generation

• Mohnis Pabrai: Dhandho Investor

• The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life


Winners, if you have not, please contact us with the book you choose, your name and mailing address. The book will be sent to you in 2-3 weeks directly from Amazon. We will host the contest again next quarter, so everyone still has another chance of winning. Make sure you do your homework! Good luck!
