The Slumdog Millionaire portfolio that I published on April 11, 2009 is up a staggering 121% to date (as of closing prices on Sept 18, 2009). So in just 5 months the portfolio had more than doubled far surpassing the marlket performance.

There were additions along the way and I had suggested Stoplosses for those that wanted it even though I went without any Stoplosses in my personal portfolio. I just wanted to go back and compare the very original published Slumdog portfolio on Apr 11, 2009 and compare it to where it stood today.
