Where Are They Now?

On January 25, the following were the five best-performing stock holdings in Ohio State's multi-million dollar student-run portfolio, along with how the stocks have performed since then.

1. America Movil AMX: Up over 3%, recently trading in the $56-$57 range.

SIM's Five Best-Performing Holdings -- Today

Short-term market fluctuations aside, three of the SIM students' previous top five positions make can be found in their current top five. According to SIM's Matt Falk, here is a snapshot of the group's current best-performing stocks (since their initial purchase).

1. Peabody: Up almost 100%.
