The Stock-Trak and optionMONSTER® March Madness Stock Tournament Winner is an Oklahoma State University Student

Stock-Trak, the leading provider of educational virtual stock market trading websites, and optionMONSTER®, provider of stock market insight and option trade ideas, recognize their national champion of  their March Madness Trading Tournament on StockTrak.com.
 
“Just like the NCAA tournament, our university students battled it out on-court and all-star traders maintained their spot on top of the leader board,” said Amy Zeidel, Marketing Coordinator at Stock-Trak, Inc. “There were a total of 7,413 trades placed throughout the 4-week-long tournament and on behalf of Stock-Trak and optionMONSTER®, we want to congratulate all of our participants on such a successful virtual trading competition”.
 
Robert Gholson, finance major from Oklahoma State University, was crowned national champion and made the final buzzer shot in the tournament with an overall 352.49% return. As the grand prize winner, Robert will be flying to New York City and will have back-stage access to the filming of CNBC’s Fast Money.
 
The runners-up were Shane Simbeck from Methuen, Massachusetts, who came in second place, D An Ervin from Carson, California, who came in third, Nolan D. Paranto from the University of New Mexico who came in fourth, and Deepak Suri from the National University of Singapore who claimed fifth place.
