GuruFocus' baskets feature allows users to vote a stock into one of two categories: Like or Dislike.

Introduction

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A, Financial)(BRK.B, Financial) co-managers Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio) and Charlie Munger (Trades, Portfolio) said that the Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate has three baskets for investing: yes, no and too tough to understand.

GuruFocus allows you to vote on whether you have placed a stock into one of two baskets:

  • Like: You are interested in the stock. Either you are buying shares, considering buying shares or researching the stock for later.
  • Dislike: You are not interested in the stock.

Selecting a basket in GuruFocus

To vote a stock on GuruFocus, click either the thumbs up button or the thumbs down button to the right of the blue “+ Portfolio” button.

If you click the thumbs up button, you will receive a notification that the stock is added to your "Basket: Buying” / “Liked” portfolio. On the other hand, if you click the thumbs down button, you will receive a notification that the stock is added to your “Not Interested” portfolio.

You can also vote a stock in the All-in-one Screener results. The results also show you the stocks that you liked and disliked; you can also undo your vote.
