SDSU Business Students' Financial Portfolio Catches Attention of Warren Buffet

Business-minded students at San Diego State University are posting big profits on Wall Street. Now they're scheduled to meet an idol. KPBS Reporter Ana Tintocalis has more.

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. Dave Seaton is president.

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, one of America's most successful investor and businessmen. The students are scheduled to meet Buffet during his company's annual meeting in May.
