Investing is not a sexy topic to most college students. But for 19 SDSU business students, they live eat and breathe it. So much so they formed the university's Montezuma Money Management group.

Seaton : At the core of it, we have people who are really passionate about investing.

The students formed the group to get some real experience investing and managing funds. After two years, the group's portfolio is outperforming most professional fund managers. Last year it posted a 35 percent gain.

The group’s performance has caught the attention of Warren Buffet. The students are scheduled to meet the Wal-Mart founder during his company's annual meeting in May.
