GuruFocus runs a contest every quarter in which people guess the stocks they think Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio) bought.

The third-quarter contest begins today. To participate, pick THREE securities you think he rounded up in the three months from June 30 to Sept. 31 and post them into the “comments” section below this article.

Yes, the contest does include stocks that his two portfolio managers, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, may also have purchased.

Those who guess correctly will win a signed copy of GuruFocus founder Charlie Tian’s new, highly rated book, “Invest Like a Guru.”
